 | Sir Lancelot is known as both the greatest and the worst of the knights at the court of of King Arthur. Lancelot is known as Lancelot of the Lake (or Lancelot du Lac) because he was raised by Vivien, the Lady of the Lake. He carrys out various good deeds, including rescuing Queen Guinevere from Meleagant, an unsuccessful quest for the Holy Grail and the rescue of Guinevere after she is condemned to be burned to death for adultery with him..Some background on Lancelot's genealogy.
Lancelot is entirely the creation of Chretien de Troyes and does not appear in the earlier chronicles of King Arthur. Lancelot first appears in Chretien de Troyes' work "The Knight of the Cart", written in the late 1100s - in this book he is a lesser ranked knight than Sir Gawain. Chretien, however, portrays Lancelot as the knight who is most skilled in arms and chivalry of all the knights in Camelot. He becomes the king's champion, fighting challenges and undertaking quests in the king's name. Eventually he becomes the adulterous lover of Queen Guinevere, and it is this relationship that causes Arthur's Camelot to finally end
