Character History
Gwinera - the character of Celtic mythology, the spouse of the legendary king Arthur, who changed him with the Knight Lancelot. The image of this heroine was interpreted differently in different ways by poets and writers and is considered the benchmark of the court literature.History of character creation
The first mention of this character is referred to 1136. The English writer and historian Galphrid Monmutsky laid the foundation of the Artovsky cycle, which was subsequently adapted by other authors. It touched the image of Guinea.
Interestingly, in the "History of the Kings of Britain" the name of the wife Arthur sounded like Guenevra. Heroine itself - an aristocrat with Roman roots. In Wallian legends, the wonderful lady was the heiress of the giant Ogwan Gaura, and the name was Hvenvifar. In this embodiment, the name is translated as "White Ghost or Fairy".
At the end of the XIII century, the Queen's biography came to the canon. So, the father of the heroine, the LEGRANS, as a wedding gift gave the son-in-law that the very round table, followed by the knights.
As the daughter of the Lady Lady, Lady is mentioned in the Roman "Death of Arthur" Thomas Malory. So, according to the story of the English writer who lived in the XV century, the meeting of future spouses occurred at the celebration in the castle of Father Gwinur in honor of the victory over the Irish King Riens (in "Vulgate" referred to as Cornwall Giant).
Not only the story of the origin and the name of the heroine, but also the nature of the relationship between her and Lancelot lake. Some authors, such as Kreten de Troita, in principle, did not attach a big role to the fact of love intrigue between these heroes. Also missed this moment and Ulrich von Toricykchoven in the work of Lansets. But in the cycle of Romanov Thomas Malory, the romantic line is described in all details.
The image of Guinera reflected the reference ideas about the beautiful lady. So, according to the traditions of the court literature, there is also a bold and devoted knight, ready to put a life in the glory of the worship object.
Such a plot melted in the book "Knight Tellege" French poet Coton de Troa. The author demonstrated the dismissive attitude of Guinea to Lancelot, who, despite the Knight's honor and pride, made a man to go in the wagon (so transported people to the place of execution).
Almost all authors found a love relationship of the vicious, the affection of the behavior of the main characters. Although the Lake Vulgate does not condemn the Ajulter, overlooking the true feelings above moral obscons. But mainly in the legends there is a pattern between the events of the marital infidelity and death of Arthur.

In the chaste version of the legend, the man chose the queen of his heart. He felt the need to make feats for her, and in the absence of a legitimate husband - to defend her honor.
In other interpretations, legends Platonic has grown into adult relations. The sister of King Fairy Morgana knew about it. Giving the shield with the image of a love triangle, she tried to hint BRUT about Ajulter, but Arthur was deaf to this.
