	*Guinevere: Arthur's wife. Falls for Lancelot shortly after they meet, and somehow their affair goes unnoticed until exposed by Morgan le Fay and Mordred. Early Medieval Welsh stories have her provide Arthur ''at least'' two sons (who both die sadly), but Medieval Romances have her basically childless.		*Guinevere: Arthur's wife.

	*Lady of the Lake: A fey chick who gives Arthur Excalibur after the sword in the stone breaks. Since most adaptations make the sword in the stone and Excalibur one in the same her role varies wildly. Sometimes said to be Lancelot's adoptive mother.		*Lady of the Lake: A fey chick who gives Arthur Excalibur after the sword in the stone breaks.

	*Uther Pendragon: Arthur's father, prominent in Welsh versions of the story. In this cut, the Lady of the Lake gives Excalibur to Merlin, who in turn ~~decides~~ to make Uther king. But Uther lusts after another lord's wife and asks Merlin to play magic wingman. Merlin does so, but expresses his disappointment in Uther by taking back Excalibur and driving it into the stone. Uther sires a bastard in the encounter (Arthur) who is mentored by Merlin and Sir Kay to become the good king Uther wasn't.		*Uther Pendragon: Arthur's father, prominent in Welsh versions of the story.

	*The Green Knight: Shows up to the castle one day and challenges each knight to chop his head off with an axe, on the condition he gets to do the same thing to them next year. Nobody is willing to accept the challenge... except Gawain. Gawain beheads the Green Knight [[Dullahan\|only for him to pick the head right back up and walk away]], reminding Gawain of their deal. Gawain survives thanks to the the Green Girdle and learns the whole thing really was a test of the knights' courage by Morgan. If this sounds uncharacteristically consistent to you, it's because he only appeared in one story, albeit a well regarded one.		*The Green Knight: Shows up to the castle one day and challenges each knight to chop his head off with an axe, on the condition he gets to do the same thing to them next year.

	*The Black Knight: There's a few different ones, or it could just be another case of zero consistency. (It should be noted that knights with black armor were actual semi-historical figures; blackening up your armor made it vastly easier to maintain for a solo knight without a squire, so a Knight without a liege sometimes did so while either seeking new employment, or just plain wandering; alternately, the knight painted up his armor and shield to conceal his identity. Either way, you have a knight without a master, a worrying prospect to the feudal mind.)		*The Black Knight: There's a few different ones, or it could just be another case of zero consistency.
