Le roi Arthus
After defeating the Saxons, King Arthur praises Lancelot. Lancelot and Guinevere, Arthur’s wife, meet secretly, but Mordred discovers them and is wounded by Lancelot. The lovers flee to Lancelot’s castle, and Merlin foretells the fall of the Round Table. Arthur pursues them; Lancelot refuses to fight his king, Guinevere takes her own life, and Arthur forgives the mortally wounded Lancelot before departing for the Ideal.
