Percival
Percival (), also spelled Perceval, is one of King Arthur's legendary Knights of the Round Table. First made famous by the French author Chretien de Troyes, in the tale ''Conte du Graal'' (also known simply as ''Perceval''), his story was allotted to the fictional figure of Peredur son of Efrawc in the Welsh adaptation of Chretien's tale called ''Peredur ab Efrawc''. He is most well known for being the original hero in the quest for the Grail before being replaced in later literature by Galahad.
==Fictional background==
Chrétien de Troyes wrote the first story of Perceval, ''le Conte du Graal''. Wolfram von Eschenbach's ''Parzival'', Sir Thomas Malory's ''Le Morte d'Arthur'', and the now lost ''Perceval'' of Robert de Boron are other famous accounts of his adventures.
There are many versions of Perceval's birth. In Robert de Boron's account ''Saint Graal'', he is of noble birth; his father is stated to be either Alain le Gros, King Pellinore or another worthy knight. His mother is usually unnamed but plays a significant role in the stories. His sister is the bearer of the Holy Grail; she is sometimes named Dindrane. In tales where he is Pellinore's son, his brothers are Sir Aglovale, Sir Lamorak and Sir Dornar, and by his father's affair with a peasant woman, he also has a half-brother named Sir Tor.
After the death of his father, Perceval's mother takes him to the forests where she raises him ignorant to the ways of men until the age of 15. Eventually, however, a group of knights passes through his wood, and Perceval is struck by their heroic bearing. Wanting to be a knight himself, the boy leaves home to travel to King Arthur's court. In some versions his mother faints in shock upon seeing her son leave. After proving his worthiness as a warrior, he is knighted and invited to join the Knights of the Round Table.
