I'm sorry, I just literally can't get over the fact that Lancelot only exists because some French princess in the 12th century decided to pay a poet to write him into the legend.

I could never figure out why there was just this one French knight at King Arthur's court, like what? Why is he there? Shouldn't he be serving his own king in his own country?

But no, guys, he's literally an OC.

This one French princess was like 'There's no such thing as love in marriage... Someone needs to write me a story where Queen Guinevere sleeps with a French knight who is amazing and perfect and the best at everything.' And then she paid to have it written, and now it's common knowledge and how he came to be is not and everyone assumes he's an original part of the legend and he's just not.

I'm sorry, I think this is brilliant and hysterical.
