Why did Perceval and mother take him into the deserted lands and not allow anyone to teach him anything of fighting or violence?

Answer 1

Perceval and his mother ventured into the deserted lands to protect him from the violent and brutal world outside, particularly after the trauma of losing his father and brothers in battle. She believed that shielding him from the ways of fighting and violence would preserve his innocence and allow him to grow up untouched by the harsh realities of knighthood and warfare. This isolation was meant to foster a pure and noble character in Perceval, free from the corrupting influences of society. However, this decision ultimately left him unprepared for the challenges he would face later in life.
