Guinevere, Morgan le Fey and Nimue, the mystical lady of the lake have been cast as heroins, virtuous women and wicked femme fatals by the many people who have retold the legend of King Arthur over 1500 years. I'll sketch the highlights of the story, galloping past the oft retold battles and quests of the knights of the round table and focusing on the many parts women had to play. Then take a look at the way the legend morphed through the passage of time and some of the reverberation the inhabitants of the Camelot have had on real history.

“Strange women laying in ponds giving out swords is no basis for a system of government.” Wise words
I’ll genuinely take that over Boris Johnson right now.
Queen Elizabeth ll moves towards her grave having failed The Church of England, divorce is permitted and Boris Johnson is a Catholic Prime Minister.
@@bonniemagpie5166 the world would be better without religion anyway, everyone was Catholic pre-1530s, and the Queen has to die sometime. People should be allowed to divorce, because nobody should stay in an unhappy marriage.
The best quote of all time 😂😂😍
Was looking for this comment 🤣
Nothing better than listening to commentary on old myths and legends
"Merlin who was creeping around" made me laugh 😄 and also smooth ad introduction
this narrator is very professional and presents in a most even keeled manner, however every now and again she has a sarcastic tone and a single comment that causes me to laugh out loud and that i appreciate.
Gotta love Lindsay lol she's so talented at storytelling.
I loved how he was cropped out in the image until she said that, then it looked like he just popped in 🤣I burst out laughing
The Monty Python reference was everything ❤
Tis just a flesh wound, really😂
Help....help!! I've been repressed!!
I thought it was watery bint, not tart though
Bring out your dead! I know that happens in another scene but I couldn’t help it. That movie has more fantastic lines than any other film.
It made me click
I love the show Merlin featuring Colin Morgan and Bradley James and now hearing those names and the legend being narrated by Lindsay is such a bliss. Loving this crossover 💗
I mean I loved the show too, but I don’t understand what you mean by crossover? Crossed with what?
@@seaztheday4418 a historian covering fantasy stories is what I think this person is referring to
Omg Merthur 4eva
summeroflove Oh my goodness, YES. Merlin is the best show EVER! To me, Colin and Bradley will always be Merlin and Arthur. 🤗😍
I absolutely adored the show Merlin. I liked how it made them the same age and best friends. A true masterpiece that ended way too soon.
The Mists of Avalon was based on one of a series of books written by the late Marion Zimmer Bradley
She wrote her Avalon characters as capable of making mistakes, having agendas which were often different, but not as evil characters. They were feminine focused Pagan worshippers who valued the Goddess. Really great series.
They sound really interesting, thank you for the recommendation! X
Also at least one movie.. The Mists of Avalon..
@@PennyWenny224 There is like 7 books in the series. Elizabeth Waters completed the series after MBZ died at her request.
@@linnetteh.4262 Of which, the first part had MBZ's hand in it. She died before the filming of part two.
@@BonnieDragonKat true
Henry VII’s son Arthur wasn’t the first “potential” King Arthur. The nephew of Richard I (the Lionhearted) was next in line for the throne. His name was Arthur. The youngest brother John became king when Arthur died under mysterious circumstances.
John starved him
And reportedly blinded him...
@@queenboudicca31 charming
Nah John defeated him in battle captured him and drowned him
The closest thing to a real King Arthur is a king/war hero general of the Britons named Arthur in the 6th century. This figure is featured in the documents that form the basis for later Arthurian legend
Honestly surprised Guinevere had dark hair. I've only ever seen her portrayed as having lighter hair.
The women's hair look majestic in the paintings that don't look like children's drawings
Yeah.
Those are probably pre raphialite brotherhood paintings
But I’m-
@@flkilosdealer Shhh
“Children’s drawings” 💀💀
Last time I was this late, Guinevere had already run off with Lancelot
oof
There’s nothing weird about A woman in a lake coming out with a sword.
Watery tart!😂
A strange twist on the mermaid mythology… instead of a fishtail, the women now have swords to identify their true nature. Are these sword-gifting women who possess a sword, a graphic phallic symbol, or better yet, the EXCALIBUR SWORD the real power behind the sword? She gifts her hero with a sword - a phallic symbol - which also speaks to the fact that it is the feminine who controls the male, thru sexuality, giving prowess to go to war and the most important power, that of a king maker. Once again, this myth speaks to the meaning of Gaia or earth mother, who controls nature. Guinevere also means “land or earth”. When the king or the male hero learns of the power of the feminine - it drives him mad - and once again, it is the woman who have the power to heal. Merlin understood all this and this is how he controlled Arthur. The King Arthur and Knights of the RoundTable is a myth with layers of magical and spiritual symbols of the journey of the soul, vis a vis the Feminine Power or the Gaian initiation.
@@twilighttraveler8739 That's the way to understand myths.
@@twilighttraveler8739 drives us mad because they have all that power and yet theyre the dumbest of us and the most easily led. Letting them vote has been the ruin of the world.
Video idea about how monarchies were abolished how it happened and who’s the heir!
Like so Lindsey can see!
I'm liking, that would be an interesting video
Awesome
@Antui TPP Coliton EXPOZED Stop attacking this channel
I think this lady already did a video about Monarchs who are potentially on their way out.
Yeah that period where the British monarchy was replaced by Oliver Cronwell , what were the British royal descendants doing with their lives and where were they living { in exile } 😕 ▶️💌👏
*Legend has it that Queen Guinevere retired herself as an immortal nun and waited for King Arthur to return when England needed him the most. It was 1815, when famous French general turned emperor Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo by Duke of Wellington. When asked what the new England’s hero name was, the reply was ‘Arthur’*
That's-
♡
Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington? One of the greatest generals imo
That's dumb as hell.
For one, Napeoleon winning Waterloo would not have threatened Britain AT ALL. The French were doomed at that point as they were alone against all of Europe.
For another, Arthur Wellesley wasn't a particularly competent military man, he just got lucky.
This ^ is the funniest comment I'v seen all day 😂
“Watery tarts distributing swords and more!”- tag line I will remember longer than tir na nog and Avalon and the lady of the lake exist. P.s.- thank you for including so many pre-raphalite images ♥️🌒🗡
There are some pre raphalite pictures at the lady lever gallery at port Sunlight here on the wirral...E
*Arthur will return at the hour of Britain’s greatest need*
Meanwhile when Hitler was dropping bombs during the blitz, Arthur was hitting the snooze button.
Edit: there was also a take on Arthurian legends in Once Upon A Time.
If Churchill hadn't been there, I believe Arthur would have been...just saying...
@@BlindingDarkness1111 I’d kind of hope if he had an inkling of the horrors being committed by Hitler/Nazis he would have be out of the ground and screaming “Knights of the round table… assemble!”
During the time of The Blitz wasn't when Britain was in her greatest need. Remember The British Royal Family were/ are mostly German themselves. Perhaps Britain may find herself more helpless given the fact that Queen Elizabeth ll has failed The Church of England since now towards the end of of her long reign, we now see a Catholic Prime Minister, divorce is now very ok. The First and Second World Wars were bad but every Unknown Soldier is buried with a Cross. For Isaiah to have been sawed in half, let's face it, anything goes. Once The Queen passes away, The Pope scores all. Prince Charles is all over the planet with his faiths. Note Camilla is a Cancerian born during the year of The Pig, just like The Dalai Lama and King Henry Vlll.
@@kaitlynhall2112 Ah, I agree. But, us mere humans are unable to dictate or understand the ways and means of heroes and kings. I believe he is there and will keep his word...I really need to believe this 😕
@@bonniemagpie5166 When HRH passes, it will be an interesting time indeed for the British people as a whole. I think it may be both exciting and scarey in the possibilities...
I didn't realise that there was a reason to call Henry's son arthur
A good way to cement legitimacy
Oh my god. The show Merlin was my childhood!!!! It depicts the legend of Authur and the Knights of the round table, feature Merlin the magician and Lady Morgana and other famous names. It's really worth a watch people ❤️❤️
I watched Merlin on Channel Ten and ABC Me.
I watched it on Netflix last year! I love that show more than anything probably
@@SlapstickGenius23 I'm glad you saw it at least!!! 😊
@@DuchessWillow Yep. Same, one of the best shows that British TV has produced. I watched it while it was coming out, I must have been around 10 years old.
Excalibur is far and away my favourite telling of the Arthurian legend. Such a magical film!
I totally agree with you. And Mary Stewart’s Arthurian series, which was written in the 70’s and 80’s and were the first books since TH White’s “The Once and Future King” to deal with the Arthurian legend. It was because of popularity of those books that “Excalibur” was made. When I think of Elaine floating down to Camelot in her boat I automatically think of Anne of Green Gables when Anne gets into the leaky boat on the Lake of Shining Waters to be Elaine and her boat springs a big leak.
It’s always good when Lindsay realises a video!
Yeah! It is Tuesday mate!
@@aeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaea Vive La Roi!
I loved the magic treehouse as a kid and the author also talked about camelot. I wish King Arthur was real . also I love how her and Arthur kinda ruled together how Catherine of Aragon should have ended.
Prince Arthur married Catherine of Aragon, that part ok but if only Henry didn't marry her. If only Anne Boleyn was Henry's first wife.
@@bonniemagpie5166 on the bright side at least Mary will have a better childhood
I love this period in English history! I know that the Renaissance was a period of enlightenment and growth, but give me the middle ages.

Goddamnit, let's keep that to the alabaman please!
My mother and I have always loved the tales of King Arthur, Merlin, the lovely Queen Guinevere, Morgana Le Fay, the knights of the Round Table and more of the Arthurian characters. If there was one time I could go back to, it would be that Golden Age of Avalon, of Chivalry, Kindness, Compassionate Virtues, Morality and Courage. We desperately need those valuable Arthurian morals and virtues today. It is fast coming back. I highly believe all the great Arthurian figures did exist. All stories have foundation in fact and in truth. Thank you for doing this. We really appreciate it.
"The Mists of Avalon" is a fantastic mini-series (and yes, I've read the book, too, and yes, I've since become aware of what a horrible person the author was). The story is great, the sets and costumes are gorgeous, and the soundtrack is AMAZING. Not just for its inclusion of "The Mystic's Dream" by Loreena McKennitt, but also for the wonderful score and the haunting voice of Aeone.
My other favorite take on the Arthurian legends has to be the musical "Queens of Avalon" by Heather Dale (Minor spoilers ahead). In that, Guinevere and Morgan Le Fay meet as eight-year-olds on Avalon, brought there for ten summers to learn magic from the Lady of the Lake. As a child, Morgan is shy and cautious while Guinevere is an outgoing tomboy. They vow to be "sisters forever". As they age into the roles fated for them, they begin to mirror each other's childhood selves: Guinevere wants nothing more than to be a devoted wife but is trapped in a loveless marriage as her husband is more preoccupied with being king and chasing glory. Morgan, meanwhile, bitter at Arthur's very existence since it caused her father's death and her mother to push her aside, projects the image of "a strong woman who doesn't need a man and will take what she wants". She constantly pressures Guinevere to leave Arthur because "he isn't giving you what you deserve" and threatens to harm him via Mordred in order to "free" Guinevere. And after the tale's traditional ending goes down, Guinevere confronts Morgan about it: "Did I ever ask you once to save me, or indicate that I needed saving? I CHOSE THIS!"
Not only is the show a great take on the traditional legends, but it also has some amazing commentary on both ancient and modern roles expected of women. Plus, it's a musical by Heather Dale; the soundtrack slaps.
Lorena McKennitt - I've got to find her CD and play it again. Wonderful artist.
@AliciaNyblade Oh how I wish I could save comments!!
🎉 remembers I have scrolling screenshots!! Woohoo! 🙌🏼
🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
A legend is sung of when England was young
And knights were brave and bold
The good king had died
And no one could decide
Who was rightful heir to the throne
It seemed that the land would be torn by war
Or saved by a miracle alone
And that miracle appeared in London Town
The sword in the stone
🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
For whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone anvil is rightwise King, born of England.
The musical Camelot was based on T.H. Whites book “The Once and Future King”
So was Disney’s film the Sword in the Stone.
The Mists of Avalon, by Marion Zimmer, (Lindsay mentioned the film) is a fantastic book from the female perspective. Check it out!!!
One of my favorite books. The movie is meh, but it really needed to be a 10 hour movie to get it all in, lol.
My favorite book of all time!!
Mine too, All the books in the serious are FABULOUS!
Read the full series!
I read it as a middle school child and fell in love with it, now, at 35, my husband of 14 years and I are reading it together.
I love that book so much. I know for a fact it shaped me as a human. Reading through it now I'm just looking at him like, oh, all of this makes sense. Lol. oops. I was programmed by a book on magic.
I'll take it.
There are much worse things.
And yes. I know the bad stuff. Don't poo on this post. We all know.
Still love it.
I came from a family of abuse and toxicity, so it only makes more sense that any abusive undertones would be tolerable and even unnoticed back then, and now that I'm older empathizable, to me.
So freaking good.
Absolutely powerful book.
I so wish the movie would have been like the length of Harry Potter or Twilight length (4 crazy long movies) just for the one book. That would have been more apropos.😊
3 hours is Not long enough. 😢
What a fascinating topic for a video! I would also love to see a video about the women of the Trojan War (like Helen of Troy, Clytemnestra, Leda, etc.)!
this is easily one of my favorite accounts on youtube. these videos have helped me get through so many chores and long car rides. thank you for sharing your knowledge with us !
i agrée this channel is so interesting !! 😊❤️
I just discovered as I suffer with a bad cold/or Covid. Testing tomorrow and yes I am fully vaccinated 😷
So what were everyone’s ‘first’ introductions to Arthurian legends? Mine was the movie with Sam Neill as Merlin and Helena Bonham Carter as Morgan le Fay
I'm old; my first movie experience with the legends was Excalibur. Helen Mirren was Morgan le Fay and Nicol Williamson was Merlin. Still one of my faves of all the adaptations I've seen.
Same here
Merlin 1998 movir of Sam Neill
First was Disney's "Sword in the Stone" which was loosely based on the book of the same name by T H White. Then when I was older it was John Boorman's film "Excalibur".
Guinivere, I can't remember which year but it was an old movie and then Merlin the series.
It wasn’t my first but Sam Neil as Merlin is my favorite.
Nicely done! I'm a huge Marion Zimmer Bradley fan, and I love the Avalon series of books. If all you want is King Arthur, "The Mists of Avalon" is the one to read. It's told from the pov of the women, Igraine, Viviane (Lady of Avalon) and chiefly, Morgaine. It's also a good explanation of Druids and paganism. The real conflict is the encroachment of Christianity on the Druids and pagan beliefs of the people. "Mists" and "Ravens of Avalon", which tells of Queen Boudica's uprising against the Romans, are probably my favorites. MZB also wrote "The Firebrand", which is Troy, from the viewpoint of Kassandra, priestess and princess of the doomed city.✌🏻🐱
Have you read the red branch. It's not about Arthur but is still good. If I remember correctly it's about Scottish clans and war bands.
yo I've been meaning to learn about her because people always mention her when reading my name (Quinevere). thanks Lindsay!
How lovely to have such a beautiful name.
Julia Ormond also portrayed Guinevere in the 1995 film “First Knight “
I loved that movie! I hope Netflix picks it up
@@revinaque1342 I don't know if it's available where you live, but it's available on Netflix Canada right now!
Yeah, I'm surprised Lindsey forgot to mention that one. The movie was pretty big when it came out.
I always loved 'Merlin' with Sam Neill. It as amazing!
My very favorite version!
Elaine - I start thinking about Anne in the dory when Gilbert has to rescue her.
It's funny how the graves of Arthur and guenivere were found when Glastonbury Abbey was struggling financially.
Though more recently buried ruins have been found at tintagel that actually date to the right era for Arthur's birth place
I'm so happy you pronounce Nimueh corectly, its jarring hearing people call her Nim u
I've been obsessed with the legend of Arthur since I was a kid. Named my daughter Guinevere.
I find English legends fascinating
It's so interesting to see how like Chinese whisper the story of legends have changed
Couldn't agree more
This is not English legend .It is indigenous native stories of the Cymru / Welsh.
@@andrewwhelan7311 thanks for correcting me x
@@Lulu-ut9pv it’s Britonic Welsh and Cornish
King Arthur was Welsh and king of glamorgan married 3 times and gwynfi was his third wife who he killed for having an affair with his son from his first marriage gwynfi was only 12 when she married king Arthur
I've always thought that the only version that makes sense is The Mists of Avalon.
Me too
I liked the version by Mary Steward
Agreed!
I used to read The Mist of Avalon yearly. The miniseries was a mess because they forced it into two nights when it should have been at least three; five would have been better. It's difficult for me to read any MZB now after the allegations against her.
@@purcascade horrific allegations and credible.
I highly suggest reading "The Mystery of the Grail: Initiation and Magic in the Quest for the Spirit," by Julius Evola which summarizes the whole point of the very convoluted Arthurian literature (the quest for the Holy Grail - being the Initiation, and the Hero - who fulfills the Davidic Covenant/Davidic King), and will sit at the 13th seat that's been symbolically left open at the roundtable, awaiting his arrival.
It ties everything all together and makes it all seems much more meaningful and spiritual. Wish I'd read it a long time ago. 😂
I’m always fascinated by how seamlessly you’re able to incorporate sponsorships into the content of your videos 😂 also, thanks for making the video! I knew almost nothing about Arthurian legend so this video was a fascinating introduction!!
Love this premise!!!!! :) more mythological/folkloric/fairytale ladies with real world implications please!
I just finished watching Merlin 😢 Perfect timing Lindsay 💕
Super interesting to hear about Geoffrey of Monmouth and Chrétien de Troyes’ individual contributions to the tale commonly heard today🤙
Loved the nod to Monty python!
Me After knowing that King Arthur’s mistress was named “Camille”:-Yeah,A mistress type name👀👩
That’s funny😂😂
LMFAO YES
LOLLLLLL
Is Camilla going to be that kind of word like Karen? Used for mistresses? XD
@@hn-wl7ty I think it’s a painting of a young Eleanor of Accutane
He had a mistress and still made all this misery about Lancelot and Guinevere?!
I was a huge fan of the Arthurian legend back in the day, after I had to read The Once and Future King in high school. So I'm totally here for this video. Nice job! My favorite Arthurian series has to be Mary Stewart's Merlin trillogy that focuses on Merlin's life.
I love the weird names like Gwendolyn and Morgain/Morgana.
Still plenty of both names here on Merseyside, maybe due to the big Welsh and Irish Influence ,another name from the dark ages is Winifrid ,there is a Roman Catholic shrine dedicated to saint Winifrid at Holywell/Tryfynon, across the river Dee from here on the wirral
@@eamonnclabby7067 is she the one who picked up her on headband walked around with it?
Hi ,from reading about the early Welsh saints, I believe a fellow holy man put her decapitated head back on and the local Welsh chieftain who did the dastardly deed was struck down after being cursed, it's a bit of a violent neighbourhood',just up the road from here at Winwick poor Saint/King Oswald (who Tolkein based Aragorn on ) had his head and limbs chopped off by Penda the last pagan King of Mercia, ironically his granddaughter Werburgh became a locally venerated saint on the Wirral and Chester, peace and love from the wirral..E
LINDSAY THIS IS MY FAVORITE TOPIC THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COVERING THIS!!
Omg!! This is the earliest i have seen a video from your channel. Im so happy 😊☺️☺️
Thank you, Lindsay, for this look into this amazing legend. I didn’t realize how many people just wrote the stories out, let alone those who brought it ALL those many years through history. Well done! ❤️🌻
Not only was there not one dull moment to this video, but the illustrations were amazing, what artwork!
Myself and my 2 female best friends are tattoo artists (one of them owning the shop we work at and the other being a fairly prominent fantasy artist, and myself being a history buff) I love to share your videos with them. Your tellings are so engaging and informative. I wanted to share with you how your narratives inspire art. All be it, a small town on Long Island in New York. Thank you for your amazing content!

Go away. And don’t talk to my stepmother like that 😡😡
What a great coincidence that I should find this video the same day I decide to start reading The Mists of Avalon again 😁
I've seen a few interpretations of Arthurian legend, but the BBC's version with Colin Morgan, Bradley James, Katie McGrath and Angel Coulby is the one that will always be my favourite even though I was already 26 when it started. They are all just sweet cinnamon rolls!
I haven't even watched the video yet and I'm excited for it. Never miss a video honey, ur channel is like my spirit animal!
omg Lindsay! this is was such an amazing video! i love how you have married history and myth please consider doing more of these i love it!
My most favorite story ever! Love this channel!
This was wonderful! These stories really never get old!
Your channel really is a blessing. There's nothing better than painting and listening to you talk about history..
My very favorite version of these characters is Sean Connery as Arthur, Julia Ormond as Gweneviere and Richard Gere as Lancelot in First Night!
Yep. First Knight is an excellent movie.
I forgot about it. A good one
What I love about this tale is how many roads it took. How a tale can walk through different cultures and time. Thus, transforming a small local tale into an enduring universal legend.
Thank you, fair Lady Holiday for posting this video. You are obviously a very learned person. Your research is very impressive. It has only been recently that I have caught a real bug for the legend of King Arthur. I've been doing a lot of reading on the subject. I haven't gotten around to Mallory yet but that's next on my list. Again thank you. Fair winds.
I love it.... Marion Zimmer Bradley's Mists of Avalon from 1983 is so good. I've read a lot of the old books and the new ones, but Mists of Avalon is the best (imo) I'm not so happy about the mini series thou, but the book...wow.
O yes! The mists of Avalon is one of my all time favorite books! I still reread it once a yr! ❤️❤️
@@vintageordyecc1781
I really enjoyed how Bernard Cornwall depicted the Arthurian legends in a very realistic way in The Warlord Chronicles.
I really enjoyed those books. “The Winter King” was given to me by a friend as a birthday gift and I all but had it and the other books chained around my neck. It was a much more realistic telling of the story. Did you read Cornwell’s Grail Quest series? It’s very good although it’s rather violent and gory. The discovery of the grail at the end of the last book is such an unexpected surprise. Where it’s found and what it looks like is a shocker.
I love the Warlord Chronicles too. I think they would make a great series.
So happy i found this channel. This telling of Guinevere, Arthur, and the mythos is well rounded
Thank you so much for this video, Lindsay
I read King Arthur in high school so kudos to you making a video about the women from that series!
Me when Guinevere and Lancelot began harbouring feelings toward each other, "This is the drama nobody asked for. Let me get some popcorn."
Love the art work. Some of these paintings are gorgeous!
Denise Poncher before a Vision of Death has got to be the sickest painting ever
The show Merlin was the best thing to ever happen to me.. until the last season.
No kidding. I saw the script for season 6, Merlin Kingdom Come, and I wish they’d used it. I can’t believe they rushed Arthur’s death so much.
I'm a native English speaker (American) but I must admit that I never learned much about the legends of King Arthur and Camelot (other than some highlights like the sword in the stone). It's actually quite fascinating and the story is so different than I thought.
Lovely video! Loved the music and the paintings you used
Wow thank you so much for this video, I’ve been interested in learning about Arthurian legends but they’re a bit inaccessible, so this is hugely helpful!!!!!
I've always been enchanted with the King Arthur legend. Thank you
The Mists of Avalon is my favorite retelling of this legend.
Loved it, thank you from his video ! If I may add : there was the GREAT movie "The Knights of the Round Table" in 1953 with Robert Taylor as Lancelot & the gorgeous Ava Gardner as Guenievre. And as I'm French, I cannot help but mention the great success we have right now with the tv show and now movie called "Kaamelott", a parody of sorts of the Arthurian Legend. And I really loved the book on which the film with Julianna Margulies' film is based : the Mists of Avalon, a great tale on the women of the Legend.
I love mythology! i know it's not history, and I watch all your videos, but I'd love more content like this too! I'm a fine art photographer and I do a lot shoots themed around mythology and this was very inspirational.
Love love 💞💞💞your Channel. I just shared with my sister. I think she will enjoy it as much as I do. Thank you
Great video! I've spent my summer reading Mists of Avalon and this helped clarify a lot :)
Great vid Lindsay.
Hi, your majesty
Interesting to hear these legends explained so eloquently.
This was great! Would love for you to do more videos on legends and myths 😊
Honestly I just love how ure able to advertise ur sponsors in the midst of the video; very creative indeed
This was great, thank you for your work.
I really liked this one, you should do more like it!
Loved this video and the beautiful paintings
this was a great video, Lindsay!
Wonderful! This looks amazing! Spill dat tea grrrrrl!
This is so well done. I've always loved Arthurian myth.
Well done. I enjoyed your thoroughness on the subject. My favorite movie on the subject was Excalibur with King Arthur a second.
I really enjoyed this one!! I'd love more similar content.
I didnt expect this video topic but a welcoming one
I usually fast-forward ads, but the creativity with which you placed it into the story had me hanging onto every single line 😅
i’m glad that guinevere felt guilty about cheating on arthur, it’s always heartbreaking to be the one cheated on
Yea I was happy she stayed in the nunnery.
@Leanne i agrée, there shouldn’t be a double standard
Oh man, I wish I had this kind of commentary to listen to when I was a teen obsessed with reading about historical women and mythology. It's the perfect level smart and snarky with a modern take. Still, I'm so happy I have the chance to listen to your channel now.
Look at all the beautiful pictures. Anything done today would be all digital. Superb upload 🌷.
You made it so that I understand the tv show once upon a time’s season on this story
