Medieval romances of Arthur usually relate adventures of Gawain or of another of Arthur's knights who is made to be almost equal or slightly superior to Gawain.

Lancelot seems to have begun as one of these knights and so appears in Chrétien de Troyes' Lancelot. But in later prose romances Lancelot firmly appears as the superior of Gawain and is loved by Arthur almost as much as Arthur loves his nephew Gawain.

Lancelot is probably entirely fictional, an invention of medieval authors.
