Sir Lancelot and the 500 Knights This is a really interesting story, because it highlights how flawed Lancelot is. He's one of the greatest knights in the entire realm, but he's also the most prone to human failings (after all, he did directly betray Arthur and cause the civil war that took the King's life). His instinct to take up for the underdog is admirable, though as the story shows, he lacked context, and was fighting against holy knights. The last line is particularly damning and represents Lancelot well. If I retold this story, I doubt I would change much, other than telling it in my own words.
