1. Guenevere made a promise to a siege named Gawaine. She promised him that king Arthur would make him a knight.
2. He tells the knights that he is their only master and the only orders they will receive will be from him.
3. King Leodegrance gives King Arthur the table of round as like a wedding present. The present signifies peace between the two kings.
4. Magic is definitely found in the character Merlin because of his mystical characteristics and background, However Christianity comes into this story with everything, the story explains how religion dominated everyone and everything.
Understanding chivalry:
1. Some rules that King Arthur set up are things like a knight should always live his life by god and help any person who is in need of help. Arthur tell his knights that they should fight only when their homeland is threatened or for any other serious reason, but they should not fight without a reason.
2. It fits in with Chivalry because once Arthur marries Guenevere then he must be loyal to her always and love must be mutual between them for each other.
3. Chivalry is very much alive today. Everyday we see it in firemen, policemen and basically married men and women. Each of these people have taken a commitment, to either saving lives, protecting people, or giving your undying love to one person for the rest of their life. Basically everyone follows at least one of the rules of chivalry at one point in their lives.
