Because tapestries were a ubiquitous feature of noble decor, gracing the walls of nearly all medieval castles, showing scenes of historical and religious events and everyday noble life, this textile artistry was chosen as inspiration for the Camelot scenic design.
Story:
Guenevere, King Arther's lovely wife, encourages him to establish the Knights of the Round Table. As the Knights grow in fame, Lancelot Du Lac becomes the most celebrated of all of them, and rumors begin to circulate about his affair with Guenevere. Can Camelot be the idealistic place of Arthur's dreams?
Based on T.H. White's The Once and Future King
