	Lancelot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lancelot is driven mad by remorse, and lives as a wild man (again, like Tristram, who temporarily suffered from amnesia) during the quest for the Grail.
		The Lancelot story, in its rise and development, belongs exclusively to the later stage of Arthurian romance; it was a story for the court, not for the folk, and it lacks alike the dramatic force and human appeal of the genuine popular tale.
		Lancelot, however, is not an original member of the cycle, and the development of his story is still a source of considerable disagreement between scholars.

	Lancelot-Grail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is a series of eight medieval French prose volumes (in the edition of Alexandre Micha) that tell the story of the quest for the Holy Grail and the romance of Lancelot and Guinevere.
		The Lancelot-Grail, also known as the prose Lancelot, the Vulgate Cycle, or the Pseudo-Map Cycle, is a major source of Arthurian legend.
		It concerns the adventures of Lancelot and the other Knights of the Round Table, and the affair between Lancelot and Guinevere.

	LANCELOT-GRAIL: THE STORY AND ITS BRANCHES
		Lancelot is unable to succeed in the Quest for the Holy Grail because he is impure.
		The Grail is borne to England by Josephé's followers, and he transports the faithful across the sea on the hem of his alb.
		For Guinevere, Lancelot performs great feats like crossing the Sword Bridge, triumphing in tournament and battle, but he is also prepared to ride ignominiously in a cart for her sake; and he and Galehot defend her against the accusations of the False Guinevere and Arthur's unjust rejection of her.

	grail-quests.txt
		For a gamemaster to create a Grail Quest adventure within their own Pendragon campaign, to suit their own personal beliefs, and to better match the overall tone and theme already in use within a campaign, it would be good to review the changes the Grail Quest underwent in it's historical development through Arthurian literature.
		The story of Joseph and the Grail may have also further supported the cause of the Crusades, legitimizing the rule of Jerusalem by a westerner, though this was not it's direct purpose.
		Historical Development of the Grail Romances Medieval authors of the Grail Quest were all attempting to mix the needs and desires of the church with those of the court.

	dm13.txt
		Relations between Lancelot and Guinevere are described as both hotter and cooler; she is confused at his change in attitude; and he takes as his advisor Bors, the only one of the three virgin [2] knights and protectors of the Grail who returned to Camelot.
		This implies that within Lancelot, despite his success with the Grail, there still remain clinging, possessive motives.
		Lancelot resists the seductions of four queens, one of them being the formidable Morgan le Fay, winning their praise: "Thou art the noblest knight living, and as we know well there can no lady have thy love but one, and that is Queen Guenever" (i, 198).

	Grail Legends
		Perceval was not the true Grail knight in the new tale; his role was taken over by Galahad, the illegitimate son of Lancelot and Elaine, who was the daughter of the Fisher King.
		Bors, Lancelot, Gawain, and Perceval had all gone to the castle, and had seen the Grail in the castle, at one time or another (before the actual quest began).
		Lancelot and the Grail hero, Galahad, later found his tomb.

	Vulgate Cycle
		The Quest of the Holy Grail introduced the new Grail hero: Galahad, the son of Lancelot and Elaine, daughter of King Pelles.
		The whole purpose of the cycle was to combine three themes: the quest of the Grail, the love of Lancelot and Guinevere, and the death of King Arthur.
		While Lancelot himself fell from grace, because of his sin of adultery with the Queen, Lancelot failed to achieve the Grail.

	Camelot & Arthurian Legend:Lancelot
		Lancelot had several visions of the Grail and finally found the door to the chapel where the holy vessel was kept.
		Lancelot visted King Pelles the Grail Guardian and saved his daughter, Elaine of Corbenic, from a tub of boiling water in which she had been imprisoned by enchantment for several years.
		Running to his aid, Elaine left Lancelot beside a lake and the Lady of the Lake stole the child away and raised him in her underwater palace where he was known as Lancelot of the Lake.

	4ch5
		Her appearance after the conception of Galaad is significant because her presence reminds the reader that Lancelot was indeed deceived at the Grail Castle and implies his will was not involved in Galaad's conception since he has proved the capacity to love platonically.
		In the prose Lancelot the dichotomy between lady and maiden occurs during the episode of the tournament of the Castle of Ladies vs. the Castle of Maidens (II, 123-131: #43).
		Lancelot's love for Guenevere, following in the tradition of the troubadours and Tristan verse romances, has associations with the old value system that gradually dies away while platonic spiritual love bears a new emphasis on or witness to the new ideal which will be more elaborately defined in the Queste.

	Courtly Culture
		Later in the story, perhaps as an illustration of the redeeming powers of grace, Lancelot, whose sin so hardened him that he had not been able to see the Grail when he was in its presence, is finally allowed a vision of it after he repents and changes his ways.
		While in Chrétien's version, Lancelot was portrayed as the epitome of noblity, the most valiant knight on earth, he appears here as a tragic figure at best and is supplanted by his mysterious (and illegitimate) son, Galahad, who transforms the knight's quest from pursuit of love and honor to pursuit of Christian perfection.
		Lancelot's strength and courage grow, partly because he has love's aid, and partly because he never hated any one so much as him with whom he is engaged.

	rabbit + crow blog: Lancelot of the Lake (1974)
		But back to "Lancelot" - the Grail quest has ended badly, knights dead and lost, and no Grail to be found anywhere.
		"Lancelot of the Lake" is an eerie and haunting telling of the story in large part because its characters and situations are rendered in their most symbolic aspects here - in deep contrast to the more literal, swords & sorcery vision of, say, "Excalibur" (1981).
		Despite its minimal production value - because of it, in large part - "Lancelot of the Lake" is probably the most sophisticated of the Arthurian films, also one of the saddest, and certainly one of the strangest.

	Misguided Malory
		The Grail was then in origin a vessel of plenty and of rebirth, as well as a cup of sovereignty (that is, he who owns it is a just ruler), as well as a vessel which will only abide truth (Cross and Slover 506-507) and bravery (Taliesin 20).
		As the Grail is a real object to the Church (whether it still exists or not, Christianity does rest on the foundation that the Gospels are true documents, that the Last Supper did happen, and so the Grail does or did exist), and the possession of an incarnate god (i.e.
		One of the most enduring elements of the Arthurian mythos is that of the Holy Grail, the mysterious vessel of election found at the court of the Fisher King.

	Sir Lancelot the Handsome
		Lancelot and Guinevere's love for each other grew slowly, as Guinevere kept Lancelot away from her.
		Lancelot refused them, and it is here that he admitted his love for Queen Guinevere, King Arthur's wife.
		Sir Lancelot was the great champion, a superb knight, one of the greatest of the Round Table.
