merlin/i329800/merlin-s02e13-the- coming-of-arthur-part-2-sir- lancelot.html Lancelot

Lancelot is one of the Knights of the Round Table in the Arthurian Legend. He is the most trusted of King Arthur’s knights and plays a part in many of Arthur's victories. He is perhaps most famous for being intimate with Arthur's wife, Guinevere, and the role he plays in the search for the Holy Grail. Lancelot's life and adventures are featured in several Medieval romances, often with conflicting back stories and chains of events. His first appearance as a main character is in Chretien de Troyes’ Le Chevalier de la Charette, or "Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart", dating from the 12th century. In the 13th century, he figures prominently in the lengthy Vulgate Cycle, with the majority of his more famous exploits occurring in the section known as the Prose Lancelot. Sir Lancelot

Lancelot may have instead been the hero of an independent folk-tale which had contact with and was ultimately absorbed into the Arthurian tradition: the theft of an infant by a water-fairy, the appearance of the hero at a tournament on three consecutive days in three different disguises, and the rescue of a queen or princess from an Other-World prison are all features of a well-known and widespread tale, variants of which is found in almost every land, and numerous examples of which have been collected by Emmanuel Cosquin, in his Contes Lorrain's, and by J.F. Campbell, in his Tales of the West Highlands. Lancelot was said to have coal black hair, tanned skin and a handsome face. Lancelot and Guinevere

Lancelot, the father of Galahad. Birth and childhood Lancelot (father of Galahad ) is the son of King Ban of Benwick (or Benoic) and Elaine. While Lancelot is an infant, his father is driven from his kingdom, seen in Britain, by his enemy Claudas de la Deserte. Ban and Elaine flee, carrying the child with them. As Elaine is tending to her wounded husband, Lancelot is carried off by the Lady of the Lake, who raises the child in her magical kingdom. It is from this upbringing that Lancelot earns the surname, du lac (English: "of the lake").

Early adventures Early in Lancelot's career, he faces the Dolorous Guard. After setting out for adventure, Lancelot comes across a castle guarded by the Copper Knight. To overcome this challenge, Lancelot must battle ten knights at the first wall, ten knights at the second wall, and finally the Copper Knight himself. However, after defeating many more than twenty knights (with the aid of his foster mother, the Lady of the Lake), he discovers that the Copper Knight has fled. The townspeople lead Lancelot to a cemetery, where he finds a metal slab stating that only one knight can lift the slab and that this knight's name is written beneath the slab. Lancelot (who has heretofore been known as simply the "White Knight") is able to lift it and discovers that his name is, in fact, Lancelot.

Lancelot is both the greatest and the worst of the knights at the court of King Arthur. Lancelot is the son of King Ban of Benwick, and he is known as Lancelot of the Lake or Lancelot du Lac as he was raised by the Lady of the Lake. He does all sorts of good deeds, including rescuing Queen Guinevere from Meleagant, an unsuccessful quest for the Holy Grail and the rescue of the queen after she is condemned to be burned to death for adultery with, ironically, Lancelot. thurs-knights/sir-lancelot.htm Knight of King Arthur

Sir Lancelot (Sir Launcelot) of the Lake Sir Lancelot is known as both the greatest and the worst of the knights at the Court of King Arthur. Lancelot is known as Lancelot of the Lake (or Lancelot du Lac) because he was raised by Vivien, the Lady of the Lake. He carries out various good deeds, including rescuing Queen Guinevere from Meleagant, an unsuccessful quest for the Holy Grail and the rescue of Guinevere after she is condemned to be burned to death for adultery with him..Some background on Lancelot’s genealogy.

After the queen's death, Lancelot and his fellow knights escort her body to be interred beside King Arthur (it was in the same place that Gawain's skull was kept). Lancelot, distraught for the loss of his beloved king and queen, begins to fail. In fact, even before this time, Le Morte D' Arthur states that he had lost a cubit of height due to his penitent fastings and prayers. Six weeks after the death of the queen, Lancelot dies. It is implied that he wished to be buried beside the king and queen; however, because he had some time before made a vow to be buried at Joyous Gard, he asks that he be buried there so as not to break his word. According to Le Morte D'Arthur, after Lancelot's death, the eight knights of his kindred that had joined him in living a life of penitence return to France, take care of the affairs of their lands, then, acting on Lancelot's request of them, go to the Holy Land and fight against the Turks. There they died on Good Friday, fighting against the Moors. Later years and death
