Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. According to the film, how is Sir Mordred related to Morgan Le Fay?

Answer: He is her champion

He is her knight champion and lover, yet in most accounts of the tale he is her son.

2. Sir Lancelot mentions his father who is a French King several times. What is his father's name?

Answer: King Ban

King Ban is his father, Leodegraunce is Guinevere's father, Launcelot du Lac is another name for Lancelot and Benwick is his home.

3. Throughout the film Lancelot is usually accompanied by two trusty knights, what are their names?

Answer: Sir Gawain and Sir Gareth

In most versions Gawain and Gareth are staunch followers of Arthur, not Lancelot. Bors, Hector and Lionel are Lancelot's relations and Simon is his standard bearer.

4. What "curious" gift does Lancelot offer Guinevere in the courtyard?

Answer: An old coin

Morgan Le Fay brings the gift to the attention of King Arthur in the hope that he will suspect his Queen of having an affair with Lancelot.

5. Which of the rebel Kings leads the Picts?

Answer: King Marr

King Marr is the most troublesome of the rebel kings, and is only truly subdued when Lancelot leads an army north to war against him.

6. Sadly, Merlin does not survive the whole film. How does he die?

Answer: He is poisoned

Merlin is poisoned by Morgan Le Fay as part of Mordred's scheme to bring Lancelot back to Camelot. Merlin had been advising Arthur to leave Lancelot in the north (where no rumours could start about Lancelot being involved with Guinevere), but when Merlin dies Arthur recalls Lancelot, as he misses his old friend.

7. Lancelot gains a female admirer (or as Mordred calls her "the Queen's new rival") after the death of his wife Elaine. What is the name of this lady?

Answer: Lady Vivien

Vivien does not feature much in the film. The other ladies are all taken from the legends - Ragnell is Gawain's wife, Nenive is a sorceress and Lyonet is Gareth's wife.

8. Mordred sends a team of Knights to trap Lancelot and capture him from the Queen's chamber, but Lancelot defeats them. How many were there in total?

Answer: five

These knights are led by Agravaine, Mordred's right-hand man. It is testament to Lancelot's strength that he overcomes all five knights despite beginning the fight with no sword or armour!

9. Whilst Arthur is on his deathbed, he gives Lancelot a series of instructions. Which of these does he NOT tell Lancelot to do?

Answer: Pray for him

Lancelot has a much more active role in the film than in any versions of Arthurian legends I have come across. The most common ending to the story is the one chronicled in Sir Thomas Malory's "Le Morte D'arthur", in which it is Bedivere who casts Excalibur into the sea and Arthur himself who slays Mordred.

10. Lancelot has a particularly heroic horse throughout the film, who assists him on several occasions. What is the name of this horse?

Answer: Beric

Beric is particularly useful in the final battle, in which he rescues Lancelot from a pool of quicksand. Gringolet is one name for Gawain's horse in various legends, Astolat is Percival's home and Ron is the name of Arthur's trusty spear in Roger Lancelyn Green's "King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table".
