Uther rewarded Baudemagus for his loyalty by crowning Baudemagus as king of Gorre. We are absolutely certain that Gawain was the son of Lot, king of Lothian or Orkney (if we ignored the Welsh legends). Hoel was the son King Boudicius and. Owain was listed as one of the “Three Fair Princes (Blessed Kings) of the Island of Britain” (the other names being Rhun son of Maelgwn and Rhufawn befr the son of Deorath Wledig) and one of the “Three Knights Of Battle Were In The Court Of Arthur” (the others were Lancelot du Lac and Cadwr (Cador), the Earl of Cornwall). Gasozein later rescues Guinevere from her brother Gotegrin, who wants to kill her for her infidelity, but then he kidnaps her in turn and nearly rapes her. According Malory’s version (Book V), Bedivere did not died in the war against Rome. The first of these is the Table of Errant Companions (Tables des Compaignons Errans), reserved for the knights errant who are actively seeking adventures while also seeking promotion to the Round Table. Gawain killed Erec’s horse, who rebuked him for such cowardly act. The first Swanson-brand TV dinners were actually created because of a surplus of turkey. The amount of time Erec spent with his wife sparked talks about his lack of participation in the tournament and adventure.

Bedivere was the brother of, Lucan was better known as Lucan the Butler (other says that Bedivere was the butler). One of the most notable failings of the Round Table was that Lancelot, the greatest knight in the world, was in love with Queen Guinevere. One continuation on Chretien’s work says that Perceval has a sister. The French and English name of the last two brothers present other problems. In the Mabinogion, where Perceval was known as Peredur, the story was different to those of the Chretien de Troyes. According to the Welsh Triads, Urien Rheged was married to the goddess Modron, the daughter of the god Avallach. Half-brother to Percival; Arthur's nephew. Gawain was the first knight to symbolise the paragon of courage and chivalry. To resolve these problems, Arthur resorted to having his table constructed in a rounded shape. Kay was beaten and imprisoned by Meleagant. Her name was probably Heliabel or Dindraine. Morholt was considered to be best knight in Ireland. The legend has it that Modron was the mother of Owain (Yvain). He was known as “Sagremor the Unruly”, by Chretien de Troyes; in the Vulgate Cycle, he was known as “Sagremor the Foolish”; he was killed by Mordred in the battle of Salisbury Plain (Camlann). However, since there are a couple of Hoel in Brittany, I am not sure they ate the same. Lionel sided with his cousin Lancelot, when there was conflict between his kinsman and Arthur. Like all his family, he joins Lancelot in France when they are expelled from Arthur's kingdom, and he helps defeat the army led by Mordred's sons after the Battle of Camlann (Salisbury). Yvain was the illegitimated son of Urien, so he was not really related to Arthur. When they realised that could not win the second war, Gawain challenged Lancelot to single combat, which would decide the guilt or innocence of Lancelot. (See The Death of King Arthur). The Cathars (also known as Cathari from the Greek Katharoi for “pure ones”) were a dualist medieval religious sect of Southern France which flourished in the 12th century CE and challenged the authority of the Catholic Church. The damsel refused to listen to any plea. The other uncle was like Chretien’s Fisher King. According to the Post-Vulgate version of the Grail Quest, Erec took part in the adventure. While visiting Rome, he saves the life of the Roman Emperor, and then goes to Arthur's Logres, where he rescues King Pellinore. When he died, he was buried beside his friend Galehaut at Joyous Guard. Hector de Maris (Ector de Maris, Hestor des Mares) is the younger half-brother of Lancelot and the natural son of King Ban of Benwick and the Lady de Maris; Bors and Lionel are his cousins. But in the Suite du Merlin (Post-Vulgate, c. 1240) and Thomas Malory’s Morte d’Arthur (1469), the Maimed King was Parlan or Parlam, not Pellinor. His affair with Guinevere became one of the most popular romances in Arthurian literature. Some of the more notable knights may include the following: There have been furthermore many others, generally more or less obscure. After fighting for an hour, both are impressed with each other's prowess and skill, and decide to ask the other's identity. This Gwalchmei was the precursor of the hero Gawain. Many other writers tried to complete the mysterious legend. Aglovale de Galis or Agloval de Galles (also Aglaval(e), Agglovale, Aglovan, Aglovaus, etc.) Palemedes encountered Galahad, the Grail hero, who had defeated him. Kay was the son of Ector, or according to Robert de Boron’s, Bedivere was called Bedevere by Geoffrey of Monmouth. (titled “Bedwyr”) Lionel was not pleased by this, and attacked Bors the next time he saw him. The two orders were later recognised by the internationally and by the Pope. In Malory, Bleoberis and his brother first live as monks together with Lancelot and the rest of his kinsmen at Glastonbury Tor, then leave on a crusade and together die in battle in Jerusalem. This time, Lancelot killed Meleagant by severing off his enemy’s head. Pellinor would have killed Arthur, had Merlin not saved Arthur’s life by putting Pellinor to sleep with his spell. The hero stayed with the Lady of the Lake until he was old enough to become a knight. There were enemies within the Round Table as well as those who were not member of the fellowship. When Yvain found out about his mother’s plot to murder his father, he rescued his sleeping father, before Morgan could strike a blow with her father’s sword. In fact, according to stanzaic Le Morte Arthur (c. 1350) and Malory’s le Morte d’Arthur, Bedivere was one of the survivors in the war against Mordred, in the battle of Camlann and attended Arthur, who was mortally wounded. For this service, Lancelot was offered a place on the Round Table. Erec, the son of King Lac features in numerous Arthurian tales (notably the Post-Vulgate Cycle), but he is most famous as the protagonist in Chrétien de Troyes' first romance, Erec and Enide. The only regret he had as he was dying, that he had never became Christian. Other names he was known by are Injured Knight, Knight of the Cart, Knight of the Litter, Winner. However, in the First Continuation and the German romance called Diu Krône, Gawain was made hero of the Grail quest. Fisher King. According to Malory, however, Baudemagus did not died at the quest, and was one of knights, who opposed Arthur when Arthur warred against Lancelot. At eleven, Gawain swore vengeance against Pellinor. The Teutonic Knights were established during the Third Crusade, but left the Holy Land in 1291, so these knights moved to Hungary, and later invaded and occupied Prussia.

The Queste del Saint Graal says that Merlin made the table round, because he wanted it to symbolise the roundness of the Earth. The second one is ingloriously called the Table of Less-Valued Knights (Tables des Chevaliers Moins Prisiés), the members of which (who originally included Percival[36]) are, as its name indicates, lower in their rank and status. For instance, one Meliant (named Brano in the Italian La Tavola Ritonda) is a relative of King Faramon's daughter Belide when she falsely accuses Tristan of rape in the Prose Tristan. He is born when Pellinore sleeps with his mother "half by force", and she marries Aries shortly afterward; here Aries is not a king, but a shepherd. Here, Kay was portrayed as a noble and heroic figure, in these early works. See Erec and Enide for the full story of Erec’s adventure with Enide. Lucan was a solid and reliable Knight of the Round Table and one of King Arthur's earliest companions. Lancelot had to rescue Guinevere from her abductor named Meleagant. Don’t mistake this that Dinadan was a coward or a weak knight, for as Tristan’s companion and sidekick, Dinadan was better than the average warrior was. Galahad was the pure knight, and was often called simply as the Good Knight.
