I would say Sir Gawain. Just as knightly and chivalric as Lancelot, but overlooked by popular culture, I'd say. (Oh, and I already have King Arthur, though I haven't gotten around to playing it yet.) Also, please allow me to be the first one to utter the terrible pun about Sir Thanks-a-lot.

We bestow thee the honour of punhood, Sir Chuckie. :-)

I would love to see a game set in the "historical" age of King Arthur. When I saw plate mail in the King Arthur game I was really sad.

I would like to see such a game as well but I don't mind King Arthur not being historical accurate. It's more of a fantasy game anyway. And don't forget that most if not all medieval handwritings about King Arthur were ahistorical, too. Usually the plot was transferred into the writer'.s time

(Reminds me of an ancient, half-amateur Czech RPG (or was it adventure?) "Knights of the Grail". I guess I should try to find some info about it, if it's even possible.)

It seems that all the early sources seem to indicate that Arthur was male. Y Gododdin for example also uses the male pronoun. It seems that the female version of Arthur was a much later development. It's a bit disappointing because the native Britons did have female rulers and warriors occasionally.

Galahad (Lancelot's son) would be my favorite knight from the Arthurian legends because he found the holy grail and obtain it unlike his father, who found it but couldn't get it because he wasn't pure for having thoughts about Guinevere(King Arthur's wife). But, alas he requested to die as to not be tainted (you either die good, or live long enough to see you become evil) to lose the holy grail.

Lancelot, cause he's a pretty cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything.

Sir Gawain, because he totally chumps the Green Knight for Arthur.

Yes, I don't see a reason why knights from Monty Python should not count.

Gawain, by far ! In the books he goes into a frenzy when he goes to battle.

Merlin rules, cause I like mages and my dog is called Merlin too, but he isn't such a wise guy xD
Your favorite is King Arthur himself I believe.
I am not good at drawing, so here is a song for you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEOpX8tmiUI (of course it's not made by myself :D)
Thx for the chance and have a nice day ;)

The Black Knight ofcourse, I love the part in Monty Python where they cut him to pieces and he is still trying to stop them :D
I already have King Arthur.
Thanks

My favorite is definitely Merlin because I allways loved magicians ... I guess you're favorite would be King Arthur because I don't think of another character now :P... Thank you for the giveaway :D

The one with a sword, a shiny armor and a horse. Why? Because he's got a sword, a shiny armor and a horse!

Hello ladies and gentlemen, trolls and trollettes.
Post your favourite knight from the King Arthur legends (can be Arthur himself, a knight from the round table, a knight they fought at a time,...) and have the chance to win King Arthur and Crusader Kings II. I will randomly draw the winner from all valid entries and send him or her a Steam invite.
A few rules:
Only one entry per person
Give at least a short reason why you chose this particular knight - one sentence is enough, I won't count entries only dropping a name and nothing else
You can get bonus points (= more raffle tickets, higher chance of winning) if you: a) name my favourite knight (I won't tell who it is of course), b) provide an awesome, funny, touching, or otherwise well thought out reason for your choice, c) make something creative based on your answer like writing a story or drawing a picture (it has to be your own work and additional bonus points if it contains the king of animals - the majestic octopus!)
If you already have one (or both) of the games, please say so in your post
Post your entries in this thread before Tuesday the 14th
