The Ill-Made Knight

Sources and popular culture.

T.H. White mostly bases his text on that of his predecessor Thomas Malory in his retelling of Arthurian legend. Many details, however, are unique to White, such as Lancelot's ugliness. Various legends had cited various persons as the finders of the Holy Grail. White allows all three of the most commonly-cited discoveres to find the grail, Galahad, for his purity, Parceval, for his innocence, and Bors, for his doctrine.

The Lerner and Lowe musical Camelot is largely based on The Ill Made Knight and The Candle in the Wind.

After reading the Ill Made Knight, I began too look at human nature much more deeply. I can now begin to see the effects of bad actions, the echoes that carry on and affect others? It could even stop one of the greatest orders ever established (The Round Table). The Ill Made Knight changed my perspective on human nature, and that is quite powerful. Lancelot?s greed for love, Arthur?s passion for civilization and Guinevere?s loneliness within herself defiantly were strong factors that I will look upon throughout my writing and educational career.-->
