Lancelot's love for Queen Guinevere resulted in a civil war among King Arthur and his knights. In battle, Sir Bors knocked Arthur from his horse and was about to slay him when Lancelot, even though the Arthur was fighting against him, forbid Bors to slay the king. The tale is part of Arthurian legend, which refers to the vast body of medieval story that focuses on King Arthur of Britain. The first references to him, as early as c. A.D. 600, indicate that he was historically a British leader in the Anglo-Saxon invasion, Geoffrey of Monmouth in 1137 names him the head of a magnificent court and master of Europe. This illustration by Walter Crane dates to 1911.
