Lancelot in a cart drawn by a dwarf 1300-25. The Blue Nile by Alan Moorhead, page 305. Manuscript 805.
In the Arthurian legend, Sir Lancelot is one of the Knights of the Round Table. In most of the French prose romances and works dependent on them he is characterized as the greatest and most trusted of Arthur's knights, and plays a part in many of Arthur's victories. Arthur's eventual downfall however, is also brought about in part by Lancelot, whose affair with Arthur's wife Guinevere destroys the unity of Arthur's court
