ANÁLISE
In the film “Lancelot the first knight”, narrates the prohibited love history between Guinevere and Lancelot. Lancelot was a citzen that used a sword to challenge the aggregation of bourgeiouses. He was skiefull and acquired his respect and survival. He was a proud knight to serve the king. Show he has ability in the art of manipulate. Prairied the battlefield of the earth dominated. Lancelot is a kind of an Easy Rider or Road Warrior, a traveling samurai who doesn't care if he lives or dies or like a wanderer, or a knight errant.
When Guinevere and escort are Camelot-bound, Malagant attacks twice. Malagant, the movie's heavy, wants more than Leonesse, he wants to replace King Arthur. A rebel knight from King Arthur's round table seeks to expand his empire by force, and terrorises the subjects of Guinevere, who has received an offer of marriage from Arthur. On the way to visit Arthur she has a chance meeing with the free-spirited and bohemian Lancelot, to whom she finds herself attracted.
Lancelot rescues Guinevere from villains on her way to marry Arthur and falls in love with her. She reciprocates, though willing to wed Arthur, which she does.

After very heroic achievement conquests the consideration and the reverence of Court, the king Arthur direct Lancelot the honorable invitation to participate of Round Table. The honor came after Lancelot saved Guinevere of Malagant.
Guinevere is the Lady of Leonesse, which seems to a be a village a gallop away from King Arthur's Camelot. Her late dad and Arthur were friends and Papa wished that she marry Arthur. She is victimized by the raids of another neighbor, Sir Malagant, an apostate Knight of the Round Table.
Malagant abducts Guinevere, throws her in a deep dungeon . Lancelot re-saves her. Arthur dubs Lancelot a knight. They should have dubbed the dialogue instead. Malagant, still up to no good, lays Leonesse waste, which calls for Arthur to attack him in a superb night battle. Afterwards, Lancelot restored the queen to Arthur, but by this time he and Guinevere were irrevocably in love. So they fell in love.
King Arthur, aged and war-weary is forced to go to battle one last time against the traitor Prince Malagant, whilst in the meantime his new bride Guinevere and new knight Sir Lancelot betray the king in their own way.
Suffering from a guilty consience, Lancelot pursued quest after in order to be away from Guinevere. But Arthur died in a rebellion of Malagant and then Lancelt killed Malagant.
