Lancelot

/ˈlænsələt/ noun

Definition

In Arthurian legend, one of King Arthur's greatest knights, famous for his valor and his love for Queen Guinevere.

Etymology

From Old French 'Lancelot,' possibly derived from 'lance' (the weapon) with a diminutive suffix, though the exact origin is debated. The character became central to Arthurian romance through 12th-century French literature.

Kelly Says

Lancelot du Lac ('of the Lake') is almost certainly based on Celtic water-deity mythology, and his forbidden love with Guinevere mirrors earlier pagan stories about divine lovers—the tragic love triangle is one of humanity's oldest narrative patterns.
