He has many legitimate and illegitimate children ; his sons Tor, Aglovale, Lamorak, Dornar, and Percival all eventually join the Round Table as well, and his unnamed daughter ( see Dindrane ) becomes a servant of the Holy Grail and helps Percival, Galahad and Bors achieve the mystical objective.

Lancelot ( father of Galahad ) is the son of King Ban of Benwick ( or Benoic ) and Elaine.

It is instead his son, Galahad, who ultimately achieves the Grail to drink from ( along with Lancelot's nephew Sir Bors and Sir Perceval, the son of King Pellinore ).

After many adventures, Sir Galahad and Sir Perceval find themselves at the court of King Pelles and Eliazar, his son.

* Galahad is Lancelet and Elaine's son and Arthur's heir to the throne.

In later accounts, the true Grail hero is Galahad, Lancelot's son.

Lancelot and Galahad are portrayed as having similar ages, whereas according to traditional versions they are father and son respectively ( the film's approach is also found in modern Arthurian fiction — such as Bernard Cornwell's The Warlord Chronicles, in which they are brothers ).

Indeed, it is Pellinore ’ s own son, Percival, who was one of the first Grail seekers, and his grand nephew, Galahad, who finally succeeds in the quest.

Knowing that Arthur's enemies would take advantage of his absence, the Lady of the Lake guides Merlin to a “ good man ”, and he finds Sir Lancelot with his wife Elaine and their son, Galahad.

Claudas ' son Claudin becomes an excellent knight and a virtuous man, eventually joining Bors, Percival, Galahad, and eight others to become the only knights to witness the Holy Grail.

* The Lancelot section of the vast Vulgate Cycle, which introduces the new Grail hero, Galahad.

From the perspective of Arthur, perhaps the most significant effect of this great outpouring of new Arthurian story was on the role of the king himself: much of this 12th-century and later Arthurian literature centres less on Arthur himself than on characters such as Lancelot and Guenevere, Perceval, Galahad, Gawain, and Tristan and Isolde.

Writers and poets like Taliesin, Chrétien de Troyes and Thomas Malory wrote tales of derring-do featuring Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot and Galahad.

Individual poems detail the deeds of various knights, including Lancelot, Geraint, Galahad, and Balin and Balan, and also Merlin and the Lady of the Lake.

Galahad, he says, will see the Grail, and perhaps Percivale and Lancelot also, but the other knights are better suited to physical service than spiritual.

Upon his return to court, Lancelot takes part in the Grail Quest with Percival and Galahad, though as an adulterer and a man minded of earthly honours that have come with his knightly prowess, he is only allowed a glimpse of the Grail itself.

Sir Galahad first appears in the Lancelot – Grail cycle, and his story is taken up in later works such as the Post-Vulgate Cycle and Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d ' Arthur.

The circumstances surrounding the conception of the boy Galahad are explained by Sir Thomas Malory and derive from the Lancelot-Grail cycle: Elaine, the daughter of King Pelles, the Grail King, uses magic to trick Sir Lancelot into thinking that she is Queen Guinevere, whom Lancelot loves.

According to the thirteenth century Old French Prose Lancelot ( part of the interconnected set of romances known as the Vulgate Cycle ) " Galahad " was Lancelot's original name, but it was changed when he was a child.

Upon reaching adulthood, Galahad is reunited with his father Sir Lancelot, who knights him.

De Beverly says that “ High God was urging him to this ”; he claims that God is behind the union of Lancelot and Elaine because He knows that from it Galahad will be born.

In John Erskine's novel Galahad: Enough of his life to Explain his Reputation, Galahad ’ s main tutor for his knightly training is not his father Lancelot or King Arthur, but in fact Queen Guinevere.

When Galahad arrives at the court, Guinevere is upset with Lancelot because he does not want to be her lover anymore and she takes an interest in the young knight, persuading him to go above and beyond regular knightly duties.

In part, “ Galahad ’ s virtue is a compensation for Lancelot ’ s indiscretion .” However Cohen, instead of glorifying Galahad's virtuous character, makes it into a weakness.

In Arthur Rex, however, Galahad is killed in a battle where he mistakes his own father Lancelot for a Saxon.

Just as Sir Galahad is about to be seduced by a hundred beautiful maidens, Sir Lancelot enters and rescues a very-reluctant-to-be-rescued Sir Galahad.

Galahad's conception is later glossed by Malory: " And so by enchantment won the love of Sir Lancelot, and certainly she loved him again passing well .” Galahad was conceived for the divine purpose of seeking the Holy Grail.

This poem gives details regarding how Elaine, daughter of King Pellas, receives a magic ring that will trick Lancelot into sleeping with her and conceiving Galahad.

Explores the varying speculation gravitating around a potential homosexual relationship between Galahad and Lancelot.

This story cycle recounts multiple quests, in multiple variants, telling stories both of the heroes who succeed, like Percival ( in Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival ) or Sir Galahad ( in the Queste del Saint Graal ), and also the heroes who fail, like Sir Lancelot.

A poem by Thomas de Beverly published in 1925, the Birth of Sir Galahad, tells of the events leading up to the conception of Sir Galahad, his birth and a visit soon afterwards by Sir Bors, to see Elaine and the baby Galahad.

Just as in Le Morte d ' Arthur, Galahad grows up in the court of his mother Elaine and travels to King Arthur ’ s court to be reunited with his father and to become a knight.

Elaine of Corbenic ( also known as Amite, Heliaebel, Helaine, Perevida or Helizabel ; identified as " The Grail Maiden " or " Grail Bearer ") is the daughter of King Pelles and the mother of Sir Galahad by Sir Lancelot.

Pelles engineers the birth of Galahad by tricking Lancelot into bed with his daughter Elaine, and it is prophesied that Galahad will achieve the Grail and heal the Wasteland.

Pelles is one of a line of Grail keepers established by Joseph of Arimathea, the father of Eliazer and Elaine ( the mother of Galahad ), and he resides in the castle of Corbinec in Listenois.

Galahad, the knight prophesied to achieve the Holy Grail and heal the Maimed King, is conceived when Elaine gets Dame Brisen to use magic to trick Lancelot into thinking that he is coming to visit Guenever.

They later discover that Elaine did have a baby, which she named Galahad ( Lancelot's real name ).

) Galahad accomplishes this test with ease, and King Arthur swiftly proclaims him to be the greatest knight ever.

Berger shows that even though Galahad is in fact the greatest knight in the world, he does not appear to be.

In most versions of the story of Sir Galahad, Galahad's death comes about after his greatest achievement, that of the Holy Grail.

* COL Charles N. Hunter had been with Unit Galahad, Merrill's Marauders, from the beginning as its ranking or second ranking officer, had commanded it during its times of greatest trial, and was more responsible than any other individual for its record of achievement.
