  • ' 'Elaine of Carbonek (variously, Amite, Helaine or Helizabel; identified as "The Grail Maiden") is the daughter of Pelles, the Fisher King and Lord of Carbonek. Elaine of Carbonek was often confused with Elaine the Peerless in some texts; the two were distinguished as the same character in some sources (Post-Vulgate Cycle) while as two different characters in others (Lancelot-Grail Cycle). She is mentioned in other works such as in Chretien de Troyes' Conte du Graal or Perceval le Gallois. Elaine's father Pelles was prophesied to be the grandfather of the bearer of the Holy Grail. He wanted the father of the future Grail hero to be the bravest and most chivalric knight. When Lancelot paid a visit to Corbenic Castle, Pelles saw the chance to make true the prophecy. He ordered Elaine's handmaiden (and sorceress, in some versions she was Morgan le Fay in disguise) to give Lancelot a potion to make him unaware of his doings. With the aid of a magical disguise and potion, Elaine appears as Guinevere to Lancelot and twice tricks him into sleeping with her. From this union, she becomes the mother of Galahad, the Grail knight.
