Gerflet

A minor knight of the Round Table, appearing in many texts, including Chrétien de Troyes' Erec et Enide and Perceval. In the Vulgate Cycle he fights with Arthur against Mordred. When Arthur is mortally wounded, Gerflet is instructed to throw Excalibur in a nearby lake.

In subsequent texts he is killed when Lancelot rescues Guinevere from the stake, and it is Bedivere who casts the sword into the lake.
