Red Knight



Red Knight is a title borne by several characters in Arthurian legend. The first is likely the Red Knight of the Heath in Chrétien de Troyes' Perceval, the Story of the Grail; he steals a cup from King Arthur and is killed by the protagonist Perceval, who wears his armor and comes to be known as the Red Knight himself.
