Day 13: King Pellinore, hunter of the Questing Beast

Day 13: King Pellinore, hunter of the Questing Beast

“Pellinore? An arrogant man, a deluded man, but a fine and honorable man too. To see him dead at the hands of a friend; this is not the death he deserved.”

King Pellinore, father to many great knights, including the legendary Sir Percival.

If you’ve seen “The Sword in the Stone” Disney film, Pellinore is the grey-haired guy in pink/purple with the big broomlike moustache! Not a great guy, nor a bad one, not a main character, nor a background one.

Great moustache though.
