The Round Table: Galahad the Pure
Gareth proves himself to the mocking Lynette by defeating successive knights. Geraint learns to trust his wife Enid. But the purest knight is Galahad, son of Lancelot, born to achieve what his father cannot. Where Lancelot fails the Grail through impurity, Galahad succeeds through perfect virtue.
