Bedivere of Lancelot?
I have a question/doubt.
In a lot of modern novels I found Bedivere in the role of Arthur's best friend, Camelot's first knight and Guinevere's lover.
In some sites (and also some notes at the end of books) I found the theory about Lancelot being a modern name for Bedivere and so Bedivere being the original Lancelot.
Does this theory have historical/trustworthy bases?
