Bors
Bors (/ˈbɔːrz/; French: Bohort) is the name of two knights in the Arthurian legend, a father and a son. Both were introduced in the 13th-century Lancelot-Grail romance prose cycle. The younger Bors has remained prominent in Le Morte d'Arthur but is not particularly popular as a character in the Arthurian modern works besides the Grail Quest-themed poetry.
King Bors is the ruler of Ganis during the early period of King Arthur's reign. His brother, King Ban of Benoic, is the father of Lancelot. Bors' two sons, one also named Bors and the other named Lionel, are raised by the Lady of the Lake with Lancelot and become members of Arthur's Round Table.
The younger Bors, known by his epithet de Ganis, is one of the best Knights of the Round Table and, alongside Galahad and Perceval, participates in the achievement of the Holy Grail. His own son, Elyan the White, also joins the Round Table. In the Lancelot-Grail cycle, Bors eventually succeeds Arthur as the high king of the Britons after the last battle.
