	Sir Kay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Arthurian legend, Sir Kay (Welsh:Cai or Cei, Latin: Caius or Gaius) is Sir Ector's son and King Arthur's foster brother and later seneschal, as well as one of the first Knight of the Round Table.
		Kay shows his characteristic opportunism when he tries to claim it was he that pulled the sword from the stone, making him the true king of the Britons, but he relents and admits it was Arthur.
		Kay and Bedivere appear in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae, and aid Arthur in defeating the Giant of Mont Saint Michel.

	Sir Kay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Sir Kay is always described as King Arthur's seneschal (an official in charge of domestic arrangements in the medieval household and overseer of the servants).
		Despite his rude character, Kay holds a position of honor in Arthur's court, which suggests the Round Table may not be as ideal as it is described.
		A modern version of Kay may be seen in Disney's Sword in the Stone: here Sir Kay is Arthur's supposed older brother who attempts to take the credit (and Arthur's rightful throne) for removing the sword from the stone.

		On the morn Sir Launcelot arose early, and left Sir Kay sleeping: and Sir Launcelot took Sir Kay's armor and his shield and armed him: and so he went to the stable and took his horse, and took his leave of his host, and so he departed.

	Sir Kay - the good, the bad and the ugly?
		Sir Kay was Arthur's foster brother and his earliest companion as well as among the first to support Arthur's cause.
		Kay is an interesting figure because he starts out as a very true and noble knight but is gradually reduced to a disagreeable and treacherous character that turns against his fellow knights, even turning against Arthur near the end.
		On the good side, Sir Kay is one of the main heroes in the tale of Kulwych and Olwen.

	Sir Gawain at the Grail Castle 1: The Perceval Continuation
		With that Sir Gawain took leave, and would depart, nor would he remain the night for any prayer, though barons and knights besought him straitly; greatly did they lament for the good nephew of their or the King, for they knew not, nor might think of, the land whither he was bound.
		Sir Gawain knit his brows, for wroth was he, and in dread, in that he was there alone: so troubled was he, so ill pleased and misdoubtful, that he knew not what it behoved him to do, for much he misliked the bier and the dead knight that lay thereon.
		Sir Gawain gazed and greatly marvelled, for now was the Grail here and anon was it there, and he knew not what to make of its coming and going, and the fashion of their service.
