Adultery in Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur

Adultery and the Fall of Logres in the Post-Vulgate Suite du Merlin
In the post-Vulgate Suite du Merlin, the king's adultery brings about the destruction of Logres.

This biblical model accounts for both the romance's structure and ethos,characterized by an abundance of arbitrary imperatives and seemingly inordinate consequences.
