One of the greatest myths of medieval literature certainly is the epic tale of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table and their quest for the Holy Grail. In the writings of Chrétien do Troyes the quest for the Grail becomes a symbol for the medieval ideals of knighthood, gallantry and chivalry. The Hole Grail is a cup in which Joseph of Arimathia gathered the bleed of Jesus Christ during his crucifixion.
After uniting the Kingdom, King Arthur sends out his best and most valiant knights, Lancelot, Gavian, and Parcifal among them, to quest for the Holy Grail. To share their adventures with their brethren the knights come together in the castle of Camelot around a large round table where all are equal in honor. No one shall feel superior to the other knights and all of them share a place of equal prestige. Thus is formed the brotherhood of the Knights of the Round Table.
Many of them will die on King Arthur's side in his last battle against the evil Mordred. Only Galahad, the son of Lancelot and the noblest and purest of all Knights will finally find and be allowed to touch the Holy Grail.
