Synopsis: "The setting of this poem is obviously after Guenevere and Lancelot have been caught and accused of treason. As Guenevere waits to be judged, a white knight appears; from his words, (he talks of his love for her as better and more constant than that of Arthur or Lancelot, and he challenges the knights to condemn her only if they themselves are sinless) this knight must be Christ." —Ann F. Howey and Stephen R. Reimer, A Bibliography of Modern Arthuriana, 1500–2000
