The Knight Who Won't Give His Name is a classic trope that I've unduly
neglected in Arthur, King of Time and Space to date. In the Old French
Vulgate cycle, Lancelot doesn't give his name when he first arrives at
Camelot because he doesn't know it himself yet... He only finds it out
when he liberates a cursed chapel by lifting a stone from a tomb which is
enchanted so that only the person whose name is inscribed underneath, who is
the same person fated to be interred there, can lift it. The Morte
skips over all that. Of course I'll get to the nameless knight trope when I
arrive at Gareth's story, and probably Percival's too.
This is the same chararacter whom I declined to identify when he appeared in
the fourth panel of the Schulz salute
reprint. Anyone care to go on record with a guess who it is, before the
reveal tomorrow?
