The Legend of King Arthur Episode 7

Guinevere stands accused of adultery, ready for Arthur’s judgment. Unfortunately, the punishment for the crime is death by fire. Bors refuses to sit silent and believing Guinevere innocent, he exiles himself from Camelot. The day of the execution, Bors and Lancelot storm in and free Guinevere from the stake, killing Agravaine and Gareth in the commotion. Gawain asks Arthur for revenge, while Morgan and Mordred pretend to try to calm the situation. Arthur is convinced to march upon France, against Lancelot, and makes Mordred regent of Camelot.

Later on, Morgan finds out that Mordred has spoken to Arcon, king of the Saxons, for how to mantain the peace. Furious for having not known of this before, Morgan reminds him that she was the one who made this plan, that made Mordred into what he is.

In France, Arthur is ready to attack Lancelot’s castle, while Bors tries to reassure Guinevere. Lancelot and Guinevere think of their dream of chivalry and love and how unhappy it made them, at the end. Margaret, Gunevere’s servant, asks to be sent to Arthur to plead for his mercy. Once there, the woman manages to convince Arthur that a war would mean the destruction of the Round Table and that Guinevere does still love him. Guinevere, while loving Lancelot, never betrayed Arthur and does love her husband still. Arthur decides to accept Guinevere back and exile Lancelot, without any bloodshed.

Once Guinevere is safely back to Arthur to be escorted back to Camelot with Bedivere, Gawain challenges Lancelot to a fight to the death.
During the fight, Lancelot tries to convince Gawain to stop, close to defeating him, but Gawain keeps refusing. Once Lancelot has won, he still refuses to strike the deadly blow, but Gawain has been wounded in the fight.

Back in Camelot, Guinevere is welcomed by Mordred, but soon finds the court filled with Saxons, hired by him.
