Galahad

The Grail Knight

minorattestedLegendaryArthurian legend

The perfect knight, son of Lancelot, conceived expressly to achieve what his flawed father never could. Sinless and single-hearted, he takes the Siege Perilous, sees the Grail fully unveiled, and — having beheld the one thing worth seeing — asks to die, and is granted it. The saint the warrior culture produced to show it what it could not itself become.
