Ah well Mel - in days of yore (before the advent of the lunatic asylum) those females who were deemed to have committed an offence against the male of the species (either actual or perceived) were sent to a Nunnery: hence the saying "Get thee to a Nunnery".

Poor old Arthur though, he knew he had done her wrong, and was racked with guilt about it - he loved her so much that he knew he should have let her get on with whatever she was enjoying - wouldnt do though for a King of the Realm to be seen to be "weak" so off she went.....................................

Poor old Art! what a decision he had to make eh?

He surely was Mel - from Camelot! he had nothing to do with the kitchens there - he merely ate the grub prepared for him.

His missus had a roving eye, and had a bit of an affair with old Lancelot which ultimately ended up with her being banished to a Nunnery (OK I know it's Convent but Nunnery sounds so much better)

He had right on is side, but the wrong woman! How often does that happen in our life time? )))

Jac's right it was defo Alfred who burnt the cakes ~ Arthur was supposedly a king from Camelot x

Alfred burnt the cakes, not Arthur.

Arthur was a great king - unfortunately his bird did him wrong, with his best mate and that got him into a bit of a state.

Arthur did not venture into the kitchen!))))

Well in Winchester in the Great Hall hangs his round table until a few years ago they tested the wood and reckoned it was around mid 16th century and they have a statue in the square to him.

He did burn the cakes - was he in hiding or was he resting?

King Arthur was he real ~ if so was he a medieval King or a 5th century warrior ~ or was he someone else! x

She did a good job - the puppet beside her did not dare shake his head - just kept nodding each time she made a statement and looked at him. It was wonderful - she had him by the short and curlys and I bet he wished he had not entered the hall when she was there!

Depends which side you were on - however I have to admire him for the speech he made to Westminster - we could do with him now or someone with a backbone who will listen to the people's wishes.
