Le Morte Darthur, Chapter 420 summary

Chapter 420 of 503 · 3 min to read the chapter

In Chapter 420, Sir Galahad leaves his father to pursue the Holy Grail, and a voice declares that their separation lasts until Judgment Day. Sir Launcelot travels by sea to a castle, where a rebuke teaches him to trust God rather than weapons before he passes two lions and reaches a locked chamber.

What happens

  1. A knight brings Sir Galahad a horse and tells him to leave his father and continue his quest.
  2. Father and son exchange prayers, and a voice announces that they cannot meet again before Judgment Day.
  3. Galahad enters the forest, while wind carries Launcelot over the sea for more than a month.
  4. A voice directs Launcelot into a castle, but he draws his sword when he sees two guarding lions.
  5. A dwarf knocks away his sword, and a voice rebukes his reliance on armor rather than God.
  6. Launcelot sheathes his sword, passes the lions unharmed, and crosses the sleeping castle until a closed chamber stops him.
