Parts of his stories also confused him and Galahad or had Galahad his childhood name and later dubbed Lancelot. Also as the best knight in the land I would be sore tempted to make him higher level with 15 coming to mind, He was portrayed as being able to stand off the combined ability of several fully equipped round table knights with not a bit of armor or weapons.   They had a lot of story overlap between him and Gawaine too some of the presentations actually had him using different approach to overcoming problems entirely, with him willing to use more tactics and deceptions.  The roundtable had over a hundred knights and each of those were purportedly a potent landed knights themselves.  If one is interested in even earlier renderings before the French lady hired someone to do some conjuring. There was a welsh Llewg Llewanleac among the earlier roundtable knights which has a bare claim for Lancelot existing prior to the French romantic rendering with the character. Additionally earlier yet there was characters who had the role of Arthurs primary friend and companion on his quest to recover the Cauldron of the Goddess (earlier form of Grail Quest) they refer to the Irishman (among irish heroes was another form of Llewg... Lugh Lamfada).  Its a bit like they mixed in the Celtic Super Skilled Lance using greatest at many things and put the whole in a blender AND  surreptitiously mixed with a Countesses ummm hot dreams. (it was actualy common practice to look at earlier stories to validate yours even if you were doing something wholly fictional). Some of that is really loose linguistic speculation but fun any way.</blockquote>
