LANCILLOTTO, figlio del re BAN -- di Benoic.

Speranza

In Arthurian legend, Ban is the King of Benwick or Benoic.

Il Re BAN is the father of Sir Lancelot and Sir Ettore de Maris, the brother of King Bors, and an early ally of King Arthur.

Ban's wife ELENA is the sister to King Bors' wife Evaine.

Together they have Lancelot.

While travelling in Britain in support of Arthur, il re Ban sleeps with the Lady de Maris, who becomes pregnant with Ettore, Lancelot's half-brother.


Il re Ban and Bors are eventually killed by their enemy, the Frankish king Claudas.

 Lancelot is taken by the Lady of the Lake to her abode.

At the Lake, Lancillotto is later joined by Bors the Elder's sons: Lionel and Bors the Younger.

When the children grow up and become Knights of the Round Table, they aid Arthur in finally defeating Claudas and reclaiming their fathers' land.
