[(Anonymous)]

While he was off chasing the grail and doing heroic stuff, he had sex with a lot of women, though. Like, a lot. He even fell in love a couple of times, I believe (one of those loves is Guinevere's half-sister), and had a couple of kids here and there. The boy knew how to party.

But she should have expected that marrying Arthur would mean accepting big responsibilities they'd both have as king and queen.

She didn't have a choice in the matter, though. Arthur wanted/needed to marry her, so he sent word to her father, who agreed, and Guinevere was delivered to Camelot to be Arthur's queen. Her consent didn't really factor into the equation.

What's interesting is that Arthur knew all along that Guinevere and Lancelot were inevitable (Merlin even tells him so in one or two versions). He accepted it, as long as Guinevere didn't leave the marriage. Of course, her sexual misadventures have been given a lot of focus, but if we look at the time when those tales were set, rather than the morality of the medieval writers who retold them, they're not a problem in themselves. It's when Guinevere is so overcome by her love for Lancelot that she's no longer satisfied just being lovers - she wants to live with him away from Camelot, as husband and wife - that the trouble starts. When Arthur is off doing war against Lancelot toward the end of the legends, Guinevere actually has to lock herself in the tower of London to avoid marriage to someone else, which suggests being married to her did give a man some right to rule. Possibly a portion of the population were allied to her family and would follow any "king" who had her for a wife. So in that sense - with her locking herself away to avoid Arthur's enemies gaining an advantage on home field - she did her duties admirably.

Makes me wonder why they never had children with Guinevere.
