Abstract

In the post-Vulgate Suite du Merlin , the king's adultery brings about the destruction of Logres. The primary model for this particular treatment was Old Testament history, especially King David's affair with Bathsheba. This biblical model accounts for both the romance's structure and ethos,characterized by an abundance of arbitrary imperatives and seemingly inordinate consequences.
