ReaganX- I understand that it's realistic, and I too like this side of it, but I also feel that those characters who advocate it are contemptible

Their view of the situation was shaped by the society in which they lived. A couple of centuries from now, people may regard us as contemptible for things that we consider normal and acceptable.

A modern viewer may see it as wrong for Guinevere to be regarded as unworthy of being Queen but, in the Dark Ages, it's very likely that Arthur would be seen as either insane or horrifically irresponsible and disrespectful to foist a common woman on his court and his kingdom as their Queen, practically on a level with Caligula making his horse a senator.
