sir launfal participates in the chivalric tradition of gift-giving to such an extent that he is made king arthur's steward, in charge of celebrations. after ten happy years under launfal's stewardship, however, king arthur's court is graced by a new arrival, guenevere, whom merlin has brought from ireland. launfal takes a dislike to this new lady, as do many other worthy knights, because of her reputation for promiscuity. king arthur marries guenevere and launfal's fortunes take a sudden turn for the worse. he leaves king arthur's court when guenevere shows ill will to him by not giving him a gift at the wedding. insulted and humiliated, launfal leaves the court, losing his status and income.
