This is my second reading note for the King Authur by Andrew Lang unit:
Sir Galahad and the White Knight
Sir Galahad meets a few other knights that are seeking a shield that is said to one be able to be wielded by the best of the knights. They find it and one takes it but asks Galahad to wait and see what happens to him. He is struck down by a White Knight who sends the shield back to Galahad, saying he is the only one who can wield it.
Sir Lancelot's Vision
Sir Lancelot finds a chapel but is unable to enter it because he is not worthy. He falls asleep and another knight arrives and sees the Graal. However, Sir Lancelot is not able to wake up. The knight takes Lancelot's sword and Lancelot vows to be better.
The Adventure of Sir Percivale
Sir Percivale has no horse, so a woman gives him one but when he does the sign of the cross it runs off and he realizes it is a demon. He goes on foot until he comes across a serpent killing a young lion. Percivale defeats the serpent and a larger lion sleeps beside him in gratitude.
The adventures continue with Sir Lancelot realizing how sinful he is when he sides with earthly knights and is defeated by heavenly knights. Sir Gawaine meanwhile, is told that he will not find the Graal. Several knights are told they aren't worthy and are sent back. However, Sir Bors is told to wear a red cloak and eat only bread until he finds the Graal. He is tempted but does what he is told. He, Galahad, and Percivale are on a ship together with Percivale's sister. A sword only wielded by the best of the knights is given to Galahad and they go on adventures together.
Galahad meets up with his father Lancelot and while they are together, Lancelot vows to be more virtuous, however, he falls back into his sinful ways later. Finally, Galahad, Percivale, and Bors find the Graal. They go to an island where Galahad is made king until he asks to die and his taken to heaven. Bors dies later and Percivale returns to Camelot to tell of his adventures.
Later, King Arthur is killed by Mordrid and is taken away on a barge after his sword is thrown back to the Lady of the Lake. Then Lancelot dies.
