GUENEVER II.
The date assigned to Arthur's second nuptials is 611, immediately after he had fought his twelfth great battle against the Saxons, that of Bannesdown Hill, which overlooks the vale in which Bath is situated. These nuptials were celebrated at Carlisle with great pomp, and were made the theme of many an ancient ballad, The fair bride was the daughter of Uther of Credawgal, and this is about all we learn of her, except that she died, and was interred at Glastonbury, and was so beloved by Arthur, that at his own death he requested to be lain by her side, which desire was fulfilled by his faithful subjects. It is said moreover, that no court in Christendom was more remarkable for female purity than his, where the men were brave, and the women free from reproach.
