Furthermore, there was the political thing. You may recall that
Lancelot was the best knight of the Table Round. Without his
sup****t the Orkney faction (already possessed of a fine royal
candidate in Mordred) becomes much more powerful. Since there
is no clear legitimate heir the disposition of the kingdom is
dicey anyway. Can Arthur afford to upset the balance simply to
preserve his marital rep? Perhaps it is better to insist that
Lance and Gwen are just the best of friends.
