Bon Chevalier

---

The banal epithet given to the Grail Hero in Perlesvaus and in the Vulgate Cycle. In the former, it refers to Perceval, while in the latter it means Galahad. Certain references in the Vulgate also apply it to Lancelot.

Various prophecies heralded the coming of the ‘Good Knight’, who would solve the Grail adventures and advance Christianity in Britain.
