King Arther
Back in the Middle Ages, King Arthur and his people had a different way of life and civilization, then what people have now. Everything from the people's housing, food, value of their money, and festivals are different than how they are now. In the Middle Ages the people did not have the resources and technology that people today have. They had very strict laws and codes that people had to follow. God and their religion were their first priorities. The construction and architecture of the houses and building were very complex and hard to build.

The Middle Ages is an era that is very different than now in many ways. One of the most important figures out of the Middle Ages is King Arthur. He is said to be the son of Uthur Pendragon and Ygraine of Cornwall. He was the king of the Britons who fought against the Anglo- Saxons. In many legends he was kept away from the kingdom during his childhood. He gathered some really great knights in his court. Problems of precedence were avoided by using the round table at meetings.

Lancelot is the greatest known of Arthur's knights in the Arthurian legends. He is the son of King Ban of Benwick. He has been known as Lancelot of the Lake or Lancelot du Lac because the Lady of the Lake raised him. He has been known as an adventurous man.

Courtly Love is the code of behavior that defined the relationship between lovers during Middle Ages. Chivalry and feudalism influenced courtly love. Courtly Love developed during the eleventh and the thirteenth centuries. In courtly love, a man devoted himself to a woman who was married or engaged to another man.

Guinevere is one of the main woman in the Arthurian literature. She is also one of the most variously portrayed characters.
