A Vagina in King Arthur's Court

---

 Scholars have, and will most likely continue to debate on the actual existence of King Arthur and the knights of the round table that began from early Welsh poems from about the sixth or seventh centuries. The most significant step was Geoffrey of Monmouth’s 12th-century book, which created a narrative with details like the wizard Merlin and the sword Excalibur, transforming Arthur into an epic hero. French romance writers further added elements like Sir Lancelot, Camelot, the Round Table, and the Holy Grail, cementing the legend into the popular form known today. This fictional novel certainly has a place within these tales and for the first time, places a woman at the knights of the round table as a reward to her gallant service provided to Arthur at first not knowing she was a woman. But, because she proved herself among the men, she disclosed herself after a challenge by one of the knights that a weak minded woman could not sit among them and should be at home providing her man with children, she quashed that ego and Arthur had a vote and a majority vote allowed her to sit at a place of honor. 

Though no conclusive evidence exists to substantiate the existence of King Arthur, this fictional novel can most certainly fit into the plethora of stories surrounding his fabled existence, but with a twist never written about before.
