Legends of King Arthur have passed through generation after generation, adapting to various cultures. Thomas Malory’s fifteenth-century Morte d'Arthur remains one of the most well-known collections of Arthurian legends. Malory makes the adulterous affair between Sir Lancelot and Arthur’s queen, Guenevere, a key element of the plot. Six centuries later, the BBC television series Merlin retells the Arthurian love triangle—this time with a twist. Through their representation of Guenevere and her role in the infamous Lancelot–Guenevere affair, Thomas Malory and the creators of Merlin reveal the specific gender and political concerns of their respective cultures.
