Lancelot, when in infant, lived in the court of his father King Ban in the country of Benwick, in whatever city King Ban was dwelling in at a particular time. Benwick in the Prose Lancelot and later romances is approximately the Saumarois region of Anjou-Touraine.

During his childhood Lancelot lived in a valley over which an enchantment had been cast so that to outsiders it appeared to be a lake.

When he reached the age of 18, Lancelot went to Britain to be knighted by King Arthur at Camelot. For most of the period when Lancelot was one of Arthur's knights, his home was at King Arthur's court, which King Arthur held in many different cities: Camelot, Carlisle (Cardueil), Caerleon, London, and others. But Lancelot spent most of his time wandering Brtain seeking adventures and achieving quests. Lancelot had also won for himself the castle of Joyous Gard on the Humber River of which he was lord and he occasionally dwelt there.

When Queen Guenevere caught Lancelot lying with King Pelles' daughter, believing she was Guenevere, Guenevere banished Lancelot and Lancelot went mad. At last Lancelot stumbled into Corbenic and was healed by the Holy Grail and spent some years thereafter in a nearly island with King Pelles' daughter until he was found by Perceval and Hector and learned that Guenevere had forgiven him and very much wanted him to return to court.

When the love affair of Lancelot and Guenevere became openly known, Lancelot and his men took Guenevere to Joyous Gard and he remained there fighting a civil war with King Arthur. When the Church forced peace terms by which King Arthur was given back Guenevere, Lancelot and his men went to live in Benwick and Gaunes in Gaul, kingdoms which belonged to Lancelot and his kin by hereditary right.

Learning of Mordred's rebellion against Arthur, Lancelot and his men returned to Britain to aid Arthur, but on arriving they learned that Mordred had been slain and Arthur had vanished. Lancelot became a hermit and lived in a hermitage until he died.
