Guinevere [SEP] Abduction stories
Welsh cleric and author Caradoc of Llancarfan, who wrote his "Life of Gildas" sometime between 1130 and 1150, recounts her being kidnapped by Melwas, king of the "Summer Country" ("Aestiva Regio", perhaps meaning Somerset), and held prisoner at his stronghold at Glastonbury. The story states that Arthur spent a year searching for her and assembling an army to storm Melwas' fort when Gildas negotiates a peaceful resolution and reunites husband and wife. The episode seems to be related to an Old Irish abduction motif called the "aithed" in which a mysterious stranger kidnaps a married woman and takes her to his home; the husband of the woman then rescues her against insurmountable odds.
