He spoke with everyone , but no one could give him a satisfactory answer . Many people advised him to consult the old witch , for only she would have the answer . But the price would be high ; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged .
The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch . She agreed to answer the question , but he would have to agree to her price first . The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot , the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur ' s closest friend !
Young Arthur was horrified . She was hunchbacked and hideous , had only one tooth , smelled like sewage , made obscene noises , etc . He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life . He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden ; but Lancelot , learning of the proposal , spoke with Arthur .
