Reading Notes: King Arthur Part B
Lancelot was traveling through a forest where he conversed with many hermits. These hermits told him that Sir Galahad was his son, and that his son had set in the Perilous seat at the round table. This seat was told to kill anyone that was not the knight who would find the holy grail. When he exited the forest he came upon a great castle that had two opposing forces made up of knights. One side had white horses and white armor, while the other had black horses and black armor. The black knights were faring worse in the battle so Lancelot joined their side. He fought ferociously killing many white knights, but they kept coming eventually tiring him out. He became so tired that he could not lift his swinging arm, and his foes carried him away into the forest. He then came across a nun who told him that the battle was a sign. The black knights were symbolic of sinners, and the white knights were symbolic of angles. The nun told him such a fight was unwinnable so he should bare no shame. Instead he should be revered as a great person because he went to help the sinners who are his friends and brothers on this earthly plane.
