The pure and stainless Knight son of Sir Launcelot du Lake and Elaine, the daughter of King Pelles.

His arrival at King Arthur's court, where he sat at the seat of the Perilous Siege, caused the Knights to set out on the Quest of the Holy Grail.

As the perfect Knight, Sir Galahad achieved the Quest and in an ecstasy of joy he desired that he should die, which request was granted unto him.
