Summary: "The Story of the Champions of the Round Table" by Howard Pyle is a retelling of Arthurian legends first published in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the heroic tales of three legendary knights: Percival, Tristram, and Launcelot of the Lake, exploring their adventures within the lore of King Arthur's court and the broader themes of chivalry and valor. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to the dramatic events surrounding King Ban of Benwick, who faces a dire threat from King Claudas of Scotland. In a desperate bid for help, he seeks out King Arthur while bringing his queen and young son, Launcelot, to safety. Tragedy strikes when King Ban dies in grief after his castle is burned. The narrative transitions into the magical elements of Launcelot's upbringing in the enchanted Lake, where he is trained by Sir Pellias. The beginning of the book sets the stage for Launcelot’s rise as the greatest knight of the Round Table, highlighting themes of destiny, loyalty, and the complexities of heroism.
