I have been familiar with the Arthurian Legend since a very young age (I was 11 years). I got to the Arthurian Legend por leitura the poem Gawain and the Green Knight. Because I wanted to know mais about him I read the Arthurian Legend the Welsh version - in which he has a mais expand story line . As I read the Welsh version of the Arthurian Legend I came across the fair goddess-queen named Gwenhwyfar (or at least its Anglicized form of 'Guinevere'). I immediately liked her. I enjoyed leitura about her as this noble, fair queen who represented the authority of Arthur's reign. The spirit of Brittia. Gwenhwyfar became a great role model to me as I became older. Later on I decided to read the popular version of the Arthurian Legend. The french one. Le Modre Arthur. And I couldn't have been mais truly disappointed on the take of the queen. They where nothing alike. It was a pure insult to the woman I idolized so long. In fact I personally find the french version of the Arthurian Legend pretty much anti-woman. Almost every woman of it is portrayed negatively. After this I still watched and read other versions of the Arthurian Legend por hoping. But every time I was disappointed over and over again. Countless times I had to urso to see Gwenhwyfar's name to be humiliated.

When I watched this show for the first time I was of course skeptical on their take of Guinevere/Gwenhwyfar. My this show truly took me at surprise. I was surprised that Gwen was a handmaiden in the first place. I was shocked to see that these writers where probably heading to a Arthur/Guinevere amor story.

I came to amor Gwen in this show as the adorable, awkward and shy young girl as my favorito character of this show. As I watched Guinevere grow as a person to the queen she is destined to be I couldn't be mais happier that this Guinevere would be mais like Gwenhwyfar then any other.

Sure when it comes to appearance Guinevere and Gwenhwyfar couldn't be any mais different. While Gwenhwyfar has golden hair Guinevere has brown hair. While Gwenhwyfar has a pale skin (her name means blessed white spirit) Guinevere has a far mais darker skin. While Gwenhwyfar is a tall woman (her father has the nickname giant) this version Guinevere is far mais shorter. But when it comes to personality Guinevere and Gwenhwyfar are truly alike like no other.
