Initially known only as the nameless White Knight (Chevalier Blanc), clad in silver steel on a white horse, the young Lancelot (claiming to be 18 years old, although it is later revealed that he is really only 15) arrives in Arthur's kingdom of Logres with the Lady of the Lake to be knighted by the king at her behest. The Lady equips him a powerful magic ring able to dispel any enchantment (as his anonymous fairy foster mother also does in Chrétien's version; later parts of the Vulgate Lancelot instead retcon this as given to him by Guinevere). She also provides him with other enchanted items with various abilities, including a lance, a sword, a tent, and a mirror. She and her damsels continue to aid him throughout the Vulgate Lancelot. The White Knight later takes the name of his grandfather, King Lancelot, upon discovering his identity. Lancelot eventually is made a member of Arthur's elite Round Table after freeing the king's nephew Gawain from enemy captivity.
