Three entries with the name Galahad.
Galahad
Galaad
Son of Joseph of Arimathea and Elyab, born in Britain, who became the first Christian king of Wales, then called Hocelice. He was conceived after Joseph arrived in Britain, and was born in the Christian stronghold of Galafort, which was named after him. He grew up to be an excellent knight, and his brother Josephus (Josephe) invested him with the kingdom of Hoselice, which was renamed Gales, or Wales, in his honor. He married the daughter of the King of the Distant Isles and fathered Lyanor.
According to the Vulgate Estoire del Saint Graal, his descendants were Urien and Yvain, but the thirteenth-century Lancelot do Lac, he is named as the ancestor of Ban, Lancelot, Pelles, and Alan. He was apparently buried outside of Wales; during his quest to rescue Guenevere from Meleagant (Meleagaunce), Lancelot found Galahad’s tomb and raised the slab, and monks took Galahad’s body to Wales. Lancelot fulfilled the prophecy that whoever opened the tomb would end the evil customs of Gorre.
