Percival became a member of the round table because after his father’s death, Percival’s mother takes him to the Welsh forests where she raises him ignorant to the ways of men until the age of 15. Eventually, however, a group of knights passes through the woods and Percival is struck by their impressive manner. Wanting to be a knight himself, the boy travels to King Arthur’s court, and after proving his worthiness as a warrior he is knighted and invited to join the Knights of the Round Table.

Percival is most famous for his involvement in the quest for the holy grail. His earliest story about him is when he got connected to the grail. In the Story of the Grail, Percival meets the crippled Fisher King and sees a grail, not yet identified as holy but he fails to ask a question that would have healed the injured king. The one and only true Grail hero is Sir Galahad but throgh his role in romances had been diminished. Percival remained a major charecter and was the one of two knights who accompained Galahad to the Grail Castle and completed to quest with him.
