Answer:
The first option
Step-by-step explanation:
Kings were believed to be designated by God himself. And in medieval culture religion played a prominent role. The importance of Christian practices is evident in the excerpt provided. The choice of words is an indication of Christianity and its practices, in the excerpt we can read that "The chanting of the chapel had come to an end" "And a loud cry went up from the clerics and the others proclaiming Noel once more". Additionally the word "gifts" makes reference to the exchange of goods in Christmas time. The customs depicted in the poem reflect the religious beliefs of the culture of medieval society and of course the court of king Arthur and his Round Table.
