Galahad
or Sir Galaad (g hard). Son of Sir Launcelot and
Elaine, one of the Knights of the Round Table, so pure in life that he
was successful in his search for the Sangrail. Tennyson has a poem on
the subject, called The Holy Grail.
There Galaad sat, with manly grace,
Yet maiden meekness in his face.
Sir W. Scott: Bridal of Triermain, ii. 13.
