Galehaut (or Galaha[l/u]t, Galeho[l]t, Gallehau[l]t, Galehot, Galhault, Galetto, etc.) is a very tall knight in the Arthurian legend. He is most prominent within the Lancelot-Grail prose cycle where he is a noble enemy turned an ally of King Arthur as well as an inseparable friend of Arthur’s champion Lancelot. The figure of Galehaut should not be mistaken with Lancelot’s son, Galahad (which is also Lancelot’s own birth name), and some other similarly named characters.
Galehaut, lord of the Distant Isles (le sire des Isles Lointaines),[1] appears for the first time in the Matter of Britain in the “Book of Galehaut” section of the early 13th-century Prose Lancelot Proper, the central work in the series of anonymous Old French prose romances collectively known as Lancelot-Grail (the Vulgate Cycle). An ambitious, towering figure of a man, he emerges from obscurity to challenge King Arthur for possession of Arthur’s realm of Logres. Though unknown to Arthur and his court, Galehaut has already conquered lands and acquired considerable power, loyal followers, and a reputation for being a noble character. The Vulgate Cycle and the Prose Tristan describe him as “the son of the Fair Giantess” (fils de la Bele Jaiande), given the name Bagotta in La Tavola Ritonda,[2] and the evil human lord Brunor, both of whom are later killed by Tristan who takes over their castle. Galehaut also has a sister, named Delice in the Prose Tristan and Riccarda in the Italian version I Due Tristani.[3]
‘Lacelot’, ‘Gallehault’, and Guinevere: “How the first acquaintance was made with Galhault by the Lady of Logres.”
Lancelot en prose, c. 1494
In the ensuing war, it becomes clear that Galehaut’s army is going to win against Arthur’s. However, Galehaut is so awed by the battlefield prowess of one of Arthur’s knights, the mysterious Black Knight, that for his sake he renounces a certain victory and surrenders to Arthur. The knight, who turns out to be the young Lancelot, gratefully accepts Galehaut’s companionship. What follows is a tale of love, interpreted by some as friendship and some as homosexuality,[4][5][6][7] in which Galehaut figures as the central character as he becomes the tragic hero in the story. Galehaut, just as he has surrendered to Arthur, gives way before Guinevere, yielding Lancelot to her. He also joins Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table, and later gives refuge to Lancelot and Guinevere in his land of Sorelois during the False Guinevere episode. He ultimately dies by longing for Lancelot, having been separated with him (Lancelot was first kidnapped by Morgan le Fay and then went mad and disappeared) and after receiving false news of his death. Lancelot, at the end of his own life, is buried next to Galehaut at his castle of Joyous Gard in the tomb that he had built to consecrate and eternalise their companionship. Long after his death, Galehaut continues to be commonly recalled as an exemplar of greatness.
Since the early 13th century, there have been numerous retellings of the life, loves and chivalry of Lancelot’s career and the story of his adulterous liaison with Queen Guinevere has always been part of every significant account of King Arthur. The second, overlapping love story, however, the one related in the Prose Lancelot, in which Galehaut sacrifices his power, his happiness, and ultimately his life for the sake of Lancelot, has been largely forgotten. The character himself reappears in a number of Arthurian tales, in several different languages, but without the same significance. The best known retelling in English, the 15th-century Le Morte d'Arthur of Thomas Malory, reduced him to just a relatively villainous minor “frenemy” of Lancelot’s,[8] leaving Guinevere without a rival for Lancelot’s affections, besides also relating a part of the Tristan side of the story in the part “The Book of Sir Tristrams de Lyons”. In Italian romance Tristano Riccardiano, Galehaut dies of his wound following a duel with Tristan in an attempt to avenge the slaying of his parents, forgiving him in the end.[9]
One of closest companions of Lancelot in Malory’s telling, including during Lancelot’s war against Arthur and later joining him in the hermitage at the end of his life, is instead the similarly Knight of the Round Table named Galahodin (Galihod[i/y]n, Galyhod[i/y]n). Also known in other texts as Galehodin (Galaodin, Galeh[a/o]udin), he is Galehaut’s nephew and successor as the king of Sorelois introduced in the Prose Lancelot. In the Tavola Ritonda, Galehaut’s heir is his son named Abastubagio, a character partially corresponding with Galehodin (both appearing in their respective texts in the role of the host of tournament in Sorelois). Of note, Malory’s Galahodin should not be further confused with Lancelot’s relatives and companions (including together with Galahodin as Lancelot’s fellow monks at the end) named Galyhod (Galyhud) and Gahalantyne, two original characters from Le Morte d'Arthur. After taking over the lands in France, Malory’s Lancelot appoints Galahodin as the duke Saintonge and makes Galyhod and Gahalantyne the earl of Périgord and the duke of Auvergne.
As Dante says in the fifth canto of Inferno, Galehaut was the book that Paolo and Francesca had been reading, when they yield to their love. Dante mentions Galehaut [Inf. V, 137] as both the book itself and the author of it, intermediary between Lancelot and the Queen. And Boccaccio, moved by the great lord’s generosity, uses his name as the subtitle of his Decameron (“Il Principe Galeotto”). In Spanish, galeoto is still an archaic word for a pimp.[10]
Subsequent novels, plays, poems, and films have accepted that simplification of the tale. Indeed, so obscure has Galehaut become that modern readers sometimes mistake the name for a mere variant of Galahad. Galahad is the “pure”, the “chosen” knight who achieves the quest for the Holy Grail in a part of the Arthurian legend quite distinct from the story in which Galehaut appears. There is no connection between the two figures.

Why arent people talking more about THIS
“My lord,” said Galehaut, “who are you?”
“Good sir? I am a knight, as you can see.”
“Indeed,” said Galehaut, “a knight you are, the best there is, and the man I most wish to honor in all the world: I’ve come to ask you, as a favor, to come stay with me tonight.”
And the knight spoke to him as if he did not know him and had never seen him before: “Who are you, my lord, who beg me to stay with you.”
“My lord,” he said, “I am Galehaut, son of the Fair Giantess, lord of all these troops against whom you have today defended the kingdom of Logres, which I had made a good start at conquering, and I would have conquered it, had it not been for you.”
“What?” exclaimed the knight, “You are an enemy of King Arthur, and you ask me to stay with you? I’ll never stay with you, God willing, as things now stand.”
“My lord,” said Galehaut, “I would do more for you than you believe, and I have already begun. Again I beg you, for God’s sake, to stay with me tonight on condition that I’ll do whatever you ask of me.”
Then the knight halted, and looked fixedly at Galehaut and said, “Truly, my lord, you are a great maker of promises! But I don’t know how good you are at keeping them.”
And Galehaut replied, “My lord, I tell you truly that I make the fewest promises of any powerful man in the world. And again I assure you that if you come with me I’ll grant you what you ask of me, and I’ll guarantee this in whatever way you stipulate.”
“My lord,” said the knight, “you are considered a very worthy knight, and it would not be to your honor to promise something if you didn’t intend to keep your word.”
“My lord,” said Galehaut, “have no doubt of that, for I wouldn’t lie to win the whole kingdom of Logres. And I pledge you, on my honor as a loyal knight, that I’ll give you what you ask of me, for I’m not a king, and I wish to have your company this night; and if I can have more of it, I’ll take it. And if you’re not satisfied with my pledge, I’ll make whatever additional guarantees you wish.”
“My lord,” said the knight, “it seems to me that you greatly desire my company, if your intentions are like your words. I’ll stay with you tonight, provided you pledge to give me whatever I ask.”

“Let me tell you what I intend,” I said, jostling my way through the crush until we drew abreast of each other. “I am a king and the son of a king; no one on this field will harm you while I am living. Also, you amaze me.”
“Well,” Lancelot said. “Lovely to meet you, king’s son. You’re, what, six foot two? Six foot three?”
“Six foot five,” I said.
“Six foot five,” he said. “Yeah. Okay. Lead on, then.” So we left the field together, and everyone else fell down around us. “Yon red tent is mine,” I told him. “Would you like me to surrender to Arthur tomorrow? Tonight? How do you take your tea? How can I embarrass myself for you? Everything I have is yours, you know—”

Erik Lindman - Galehaut (2020) “Boccaccio uses Galehaut’s name – ‘Il Principe Galeotto'– as the subtitle of his Decameron (1353), a story that could just as easily work in our strange current historical moment as it did in the fourteenth century. While my painting lacks Boccaccio’s humor, this central form, invoking the armless torso from Rodin’s The Walking Man (1907), is surrounded by the black mysterious unknown just like Bocaccio’s sheltered cohort, with only a few vertical collaged cotton bars to grab onto in order to resist falling out of the picture, or the void of our times, holding onto art as a refuge.
In the Arthurian myth, Galehaut, a half man, half giant, longs for the Black Knight, a disguised Lancelot. Despite a certain victory over Arthur’s forces, Galehaut lays down his arms in the middle of battle due to his awe of the Black Knight’s courage. The villain undergoes a conversion experience through (erotic?) beauty and becomes a comrade of Arthur’s.
Through his involvement in Lancelot’s grail quest, the story of Galehaut is linked to the Parsifal myth, the principal allusion underpinning this exhibition – ‘Fal/Parsi’ being a derivation of the Arabic origin of the hidden name of Parsifal revealed by Kundry, ‘Fal Parsi’, literally meaning ‘Holy Fool.’
I see the ‘Holy Fool’ as an analogy for the painter of modern life, the artist who can only manage to take a stab at creation through ignorance of its futility, and yet paradoxically because of this serves as a vital channel. Here stands a giant, defeated by love, who cannot raise a finger against what he finds beautiful.”
