Elaine of Astolat

A golden token given by Guenevere to Lancelot to wear in tournaments. The sleeve marked the queen’s favor and symbolized the famous love story in Arthurian legend.

Elaine of Astolat’s sleeve — a scarlet token embroidered with pearls — allowed Lancelot to ride incognito at the tournament of Winchester. In doing so, it revealed more than it concealed.

Percivale of Wales is the knight most closely linked to the Quest for the Holy Grail. First portrayed as a naïve youth raised in the wild, he grows into a figure of faith and perseverance, achieving the vision of the Grail alongside Galahad and Bors.
