Cart World Knights
In Knight of the Cart, on pg 281, when Lancelot is fighting, why do the women say he would never marry them?
The women say "They felt that their beauty, their wealth, their positions, and they noble births would bring them little advantage, for surely a knight this valiant would never deign to marry any one of them for beauty or wealth alone." It goes on to say the Queen laughed, knowing the knight wouldn't marry the the most beautiful or fairest of them, even if they offered all the gold in the world. I want to know why the Knight wouldn't marry them for these reasons, and how the women and the queen knew this. I can't figure it out.
This extract is from this text: http://books.google.ca/books?id=iN6dg0D0gu0C&pg=PA187&lpg=PA187&dq=%22They+felt+that+their+beauty,+their+wealth,+their+positions,%22&source=bl&ots=hy5jGf5g3j&sig=Tq1DX3pzVhzno_0k6xygiXLkH04&hl=en&ei=TYPvSZvXNZb4MYDxxAE&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1 .
See the translation at http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/831 , ”Lancelot”, Vv. 5641-6104 ,
“And the damsels, who amazed were watching him, all said that he might take them to wife; but they did not dare to trust in their beauty or wealth, or power or highness, for not for her beauty or wealth would this peerless knight deign to choose any one of them.”
I think the idea is that this knight is so superbly good that he would not be persuaded by the beauty or wealth of any particular woman, since there would be others just as wealthy or just as beautiful who would be equally infatuated with him. A very beautiful and wealthy woman might well be able to pick from many knights because or her beauty or wealth alone. But this knight will not be taken by either alone when every beautiful or wealthy woman is equally at his command.
A woman of wealth or beauty of both, might easily pick a lesser knight as her consort, and have him be grateful for it. But she cannot just pick a knight with whom so many women are infatuated. If she desires only a one-night stand, even that is dubious considering the number of women infatuated with the superior knight. But it appears that the poet is talking about more than that, about at least a long-term relationship.
Great wealth or great beauty or both may well work on a normal knight, but not on one who is so superior that almost all beautiful and wealthy women would compete for his attention.

| | Four Knights Game $101.96 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Four Knights Game is a chess opening starting with the moves: 1. e4 e5; 2. Nf3 Nc6; 3. Nc3 Nf6. This is the most common sequence but the knights may be developed in any order. The ECO codes for the Four Knights Game are C47 (alternatives to 4.Bb5), C48 (4.Bb5 without 4...Bb4), and C49 (the Symmetrical Variation, 4.Bb5 Bb4). The Four Knights is fairly popular with beginners who strictly adhere to the opening principle develop knights before bishops. It was one of the workhorses in the family of the Open Game, at even the highest levels, until World War I. Thereafter it fell by the wayside, along with a number of open games. In this period ambitious players explored the Ruy Lopez, believing it a better attempt for White to exploit the advantage of the first move. In the 1990s, this opening saw a renaissance, and is now seen in the praxis of players from beginner to grandmaster. The Four Knights usually leads to quiet positional play, though there are some sharp variations.

Where is the Ark of the Covenant Hidden?
The Ark of the Covenant is a treasure chest revealed by our Lord in the Qur'an and which contains the property of the Prophet Moses and the Prophet Aaron. According to Islamic scholars, the most important feature of the Ark is that its whereabouts have been unknown since 587 BC, and it is generally accepted by them that it will be found by the Mahdi, an individual who will appear in the end times. (God knows best.)
The Ark of the Covenant is a subject to which attention is drawn in the hadiths (sayings of our Prophet [peace be upon him]) and in various historical sources, and is also referred to in the Qur'an, revealed by our Lord. The Torah, a divine text that was subsequently corrupted, also contains information about this chest. The Ark, regarded by Islamic scholars as heralding an age when Qur'anic moral values will prevail on earth, is described in these terms in the Qur'an:
Their Prophet said to them, 'The sign of his kingship is that the Ark will come to you, containing serenity from your Lord and certain relics left by the families of Musa and Harun. It will be borne by angels. There is a sign for you in that if you believe. (Qur'an, 2: 248)
The Ark According to Historical Sources
Considerable information about the Ark of the Covenant is to be found in historical sources. It is thought to have been manufactured on the slopes of Mount Sinai after the Children of Israel left Egypt, and contains stone slabs from the Prophet Musa and other items from the Prophet Harun.
According to historical sources, the Ark of the Covenant was carried to Jerusalem when the city was declared to be the capital of the United Jewish Kingdom in the time of the Prophet David, after that of the Prophet Aaron. It was placed in the Temple built by the Prophet Solomon, where it remained until 587 BC. In that year Jerusalem was captured by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, the monarch who constructed the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Later on, the belief began to spread that the Ark, which was not seen for the next 500 years by anyone, had not been destroyed but had been buried in a secret location under the Temple by the Levites responsible for its safekeeping. After the destruction of the Temple by the Roman Governor Titus in 70 AD, it was assumed that the secret chamber had been found and that the Ark and the other holy artifacts from the Temple had been carried to Rome.
The Search for the Vanished Ark
The Ark has remained lost since 587 BC up to the present day. In addition, since the Jews believed that the Ark would only reappear after the coming of the Messiah, those who have looked for it down the years have generally been Christians, not Jews. The first recorded "Ark Excavations" on the Temple Mount were carried out by the Knights Templar in the 12th century.
No sign of the Ark was found then or more recently, and the subject has become a focus of interest for researchers in modern times.
The Ark in the Old Testament
Our Almighty Lord, Who created everything with sublime knowledge and wisdom, has revealed the existence of the Ark in both the Qur'an and the Old Testament. It is revealed in the Old Testament that one of the stone tablets was given to the Prophet Moses on Mount Sinai and that these tablets were placed into the Ark on Mount Horeb:
When the Lord finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, He gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God. (Exodus 31: 18)
There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites after they came out of Egypt. (2 Chronicles 5: 10)
The Torah also states that the Ark was later carried away by the Prophet David and installed elsewhere by the Prophet Solomon:
David again brought together out of Israel chosen men, thirty thousand in all. He and all his men set out from Baalah of Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name, the name of the Lord Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim that are on the ark. They set the ark of God on a new cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart with the ark of God on it, and Ahio was walking in front of it. (2 Samuel 6: 1-4)
Opinions regarding the Journey and Location of the Ark of the Covenant
The city of Jerusalem is known for being the home of the Temple erected by the Prophet Solomon and for the Ark of the Covenant. The most widely accepted view is that the sacred treasures were carried to Rome when the Temple was torn down in 70 AD. Another opinion, however, is that the Ark, which has been lost since 587 BC, was hidden in Jerusalem and that it was taken further north, in other words to Tiberias (Tabariya), or to Antioch (Hatay) or Mecca, in order to prevent it being destroyed by the Romans or other peoples, since Jerusalem was regarded as unsafe. (Our Almighty Lord knows best.)
The Ark of the Covenant in the Hadiths
As stated in the Qur'an, the Ark of the Covenant is "a sign" for the faithful (Qur'an, 2: 248), for which reason believers have looked for it down the years. The fact that it has remained lost despite all this detailed research may be an indication that it will be found in our own time, when a great many portents regarding the end times have been fulfilled. (Almighty Allah knows best.)
The end times are an age when, near to doomsday, the moral values of the Qur'an will come to prevail over all the world and will be widespread among people. The injustices, oppression, cruelty, immorality and degeneration of earlier times will be eliminated in this blessed time, and all difficulties will be replaced by plenty, abundance, wealth, beauty and peace. There will be major advances in technology, and these will be used to ensure ease and comfort for all. By the will of Allah the Ark will be a sign of this age and will herald happy days for all of mankind.
In his hadiths, God's Messenger (peace be upon him) has provided considerable information about the Ark and the spiritual entity, the Mahdi, who will find it, and has given Muslims these glad tidings.
According to the hadiths, the Ark is near Lake Tiberias. It will be found by the Mahdi in the end times and will be a symbol of his dominion, as it was of the rule of Talut (Saul). One hadith on the subject runs as follows:
The Mehdi will remove the Ark of the Covenant from Lake Tiberias. (Iqd al-Durar fi Akbar al-Imam al-Muntadhar, by Shaikh Jamaluddin Yusuf al-Damishqi, p. 51-a)
Other hadiths concerning the end times provide other place names for the location of the Ark. These separate place names may mean that the site is not known for sure and is perhaps under special protection for the Mahdi. (Almighty Allah knows best.)
The reason he will be known as the Mahdi is that he will show the way to a hidden thing. He will bring the Ark to light from a place called Antioch. (Suyuti, al-Hawi li'l Fatawa, II, 82)
The reason he will be known as the Mahdi is that he will go to one of the mountains in Sham. From there he will unearth the (true) books of the Torah and bring forth evidence against the Jews. (Suyuti, al-Hawi li'l Fatawa, II, 81)
According to commentaries on these hadiths, the fire of Zionism spurred on by some Jews will come to an end at the time of the Mahdi, and Islamic tolerance and Qur'anic moral values will spread among them. The place described as "near Lake Tiberias" in the hadiths is regarded as a figure of speech by Islamic scholars. Tiberias is near to Sham, and Sham, in accounts of the end times in the hadiths, means somewhere far-distant, far from Mecca and Medina. This figure of speech applies to Tiberias. Indeed, some commentators and researchers have taken this to indicate that the Ark may be in Jerusalem, Mecca, Tiberias, Antioch, or even in Istanbul.
