Today, the story is probably best known as that of Lohengrin, son of the Grail knight Percival. The Lohengrin version forms the plot of Richard Wagner's opera of that name, which is based on medieval German romance. However, the Knight of the Swan tale was originally attached to the family of Godfrey of Bouillon.
