Description

The Death of Arthur brings the Vulgate Cycle to its tragic ending.

It opens with the aftermath of the Grail quest, and the king's attempts to revive the much depleted Round Table.

But at this point the affair between Lancelot and Guinevere intensifies, and comes into the open when Agravain succeeds in catching them in the act.

Lancelot saves the queen from the stake, and flees with her to his castle of Joyous Gard, which is besieged by Arthur.

The final pages recount Arthur's death at the hands of his illegitimate son Mordred, and the deaths of Lancelot and Guinevere. For a full description of the Vulgate Cycle see the blurb for the complete set.
