First Knight

Description

Young Guenevere refuses to break her promise to marry an aging King Arthur (in return for his protection over her people and her lands), no matter how dashing the young wandering warrior Lancelot may be; but, when Lancelot turns up at Arthur's court, Guenevere realizes that her feelings are not so easily denied, especially when Lancelot refuses to take "no" for an answer.
