Sir Cee is still here. Although the discussion of whoever or whatever may continue without Sir Cee, for he has little knowledge upon his own kingdom. :frown:

may i join, and take the name of Queen Elaine the mother of Lancelot, and wife to King Ban of Benwick?

I though Elaine was Lancelot's wife, and therefore mother to Galahad?

Lancelot had too many Elaines in his life. Since Trish specified about King Ban, I guess she is right- as his mother was Helen/Elaine of Banoic/Benwick.

Galahad's mother is also an Elaine.

Galahads mother is Elain, the Damosel of the Scalding Bath.

Back to the arguement about whether there were non-white knights...... We must remember that Arthur lived in the post-Roman, pre-Saxon period of British History. We may consider the men of the Round table to be knights, but the idea of a knight came along much later with the Norman invasion. The characters we encounter were simple warriors and warlords who served a King, and in Arthur's world, all it took to become a man of power was good Battle skills. Because of the Roman Empire, it is more than probable that people from African provinces settled in Roman Britain. In addition, the widespread slave trade probably ensured that there was a sizeable non-white population in Britain at the end of the Roman era. Some of these slaves or settlers may have become warriors or warlords in the chaos after the Roman exodus, and this is not a far fetched idea.
