The Welsh form Gwenhwyfar, which seems to be cognate with the Irish name Findabair, can be translated as "The White Enchantress" or "The White Fay/Ghost". The name is spelled Guennuuar in Caradoc's Vita Gildae, while Gerald of Wales called her Wenneuereia. In the 15th century Middle Cornish play Bewnans Ke, she was called Gwynnever.

Guinnevere had golden hair
Like yours, my lady like yours
Streaming out when we'd ride
Through the warm wind down by the bay

Enjoy your day...

And Sir Lancelot said....

with Guinevere, full gaily, gracing their midst,
dressed on the dais there, adorned all about –
splendid silk by her sides, and sheer above
of true Toulouse, of Tartar tapestries plenty,
that were embroidered, bright with the best gems
that might be price-proved with pennies
any a day.

the comeliest to descry
glanced there with eyen grey;
a seemlier ever to the sight,
sooth might no man say.
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Happy Birthday, Guin - hope it was a good one!
