Sir Lancelot (mythology) (2)

Sir Lancelot is a famous Knight of the Round Table who was a popular figure of medieval romance and legend - embodying many of the values that were associated with heroism at that time: things such as honor, respect and loyalty as well as daring adventures involving both magic, mystery and military-based valor.

Description[]

Lancelot du Lac is a late addition to the Arthurian mythos, but nonetheless one of its most iconic characters. He is usually portrayed as one of the Round Table's greatest warriors and King Arthur's steadfast brother-in-arms. Lancelot is a notable knight errant and accomplishes many feats, but his affair with Queen Guinevere ultimately proves tragic.

History[]

Sir Lancelot du Lac or Sir Launcelot was the son of King Ban of Benwick and Queen Elaine. Lancelot was the First Knight of the Round Table, and he never failed in gentleness, courtesy, or courage. In addition to his courage and prowess on the battlefield, Lancelot was also a knight who was consistently serving others, thus giving him a good name and favor among most circles.

It has been said that Lancelot was the greatest fighter and swordsman of all the Knights of the Round Table, and yet he was also extremely intelligent and known for his charm and humor. Legend tells us that as a child, Lancelot was left by the shore of The Lake, where he was found by Vivien, the Lady of the Lake. Caring for him as her own, Vivien fostered and raised Lancelot, raising one of history’s greatest knights.
