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.
Once Balin's weapon, this sword carried both prophecy and peril. Only the destined knight could wield it safely.
