The High History of the Holy Graal

-Originally written in Old French, sometime in the early half of the 13th Century A.D., as a continuation of Chrétien de Troyes' unfinished work "Perceval, or the Knight of the Grail":

Here the story is silent of Messire Gawain and beginneth to speak of Lancelot, that entereth into a forest and rideth with right great ado and meeteth a knight in the midst of the forest that was coming full speed and was armed of all arms.
