In Arthurian legend what was the name of Sir Lancelot's castle
"Hellawes (sorceress) Hellawes the Sorceress is a minor character in Thomas Malory's 15th-century compilation of Arthurian legends ""Le Morte d'Arthur."" She is lady of the Castle Nygurmous (""of necromancy""). Hellawes is a treacherous enchantress whom Sir Lancelot encounters in his pursuit of a holy sword or cloth heal his wounded liegeman, Meliot of Logres. She manages to lure the questing knight into her fearsome chapel perilous but Lancelot—who has been the object of her obsessive and unrequited love for seven years—successfully escapes. The motif for her enchanted chapel (complete with the name, ""Chapelle Perilleus""e) originates in ""Perlesvaus."" Her name seems"
"Camelot Camelot is a castle and court associated with the legendary King Arthur. Absent in the early Arthurian material, Camelot first appeared in 12th-century French romances and, after the Lancelot-Grail cycle, eventually came to be described as the fantastic capital of Arthur's realm and a symbol of the Arthurian world. The stories locate it somewhere in Great Britain and sometimes associate it with real cities, though more usually its precise location is not revealed. Most scholars regard it as being entirely fictional, its geography being perfect for chivalric romance writers. Nevertheless, arguments about the location of the ""real Camelot"" have"
"Joyous Gard. The castle then reverts to its former name, Dolorous Gard. Later, Guinevere is restored to Arthur at Lancelot's intervention and Lancelot abandons his castle to live in France before becoming a hermit at Glastonbury, where he spends the rest of his days. On Lancelot's death, his body his taken to the Joyous Gard for burial. Malory identified the Joyous Gard with Bamburgh Castle, the northern coastal castle known to the Anglo-Saxons as ""Bebbanburgh"". Previously it had been the location of a fort of the Celtic Britons known as ""Din Guarie"". Joyous Gard The castle of Joyous Gard is"
"residence, Care-a-lot, is a play on King Arthur's legendary Camelot castle. The Care Bear Family sits around a heart-shaped table, similar to the Round Table used by Arthur and his knights. In addition, Sir Lancelot's name inspired that of Love-a-lot Bear. Throughout the movies and series, various villains have tried to stop the Bears and Cousins in the background on their missions. On the first two specials and DiC television series, they battled against Professor Coldheart, his assistant Frostbite, and occasionally Auntie Freeze; in Nelvana's version, they faced Wizard No Heart, his bumbling assistant Beastly and his ill-tempered niece Shreeky,"
"mythical) Camelot of King Arthur, though the name ""Camelot"" (first mentioned by the 12th century French Arthurian storyteller Chretien de Troyes) is most likely a corruption of ""Camlann"", a now unknown location first mentioned in the 10th century Welsh annalistic text Annales Cambriae, identified as the place where Arthur was slain in battle. Soon after the Roman conquest of Britain in AD 43, a Roman legionary fortress was established, the first in Britain. Later, when the Roman frontier moved outwards and the twentieth legion had moved to the west (c.AD 49), Camulodunum became a colonia named in a second-century inscription"
"mythical castle home of Sir Launcelot in Arthurian legend. According to Bede, St Aidan built a wooden church outside the castle wall in AD 635, and he died here in AD 652. A wooden beam preserved inside the church is traditionally said to be the one on which he rested as he died. The present church dates from the late 12th century, though some pre-conquest stonework survives in the north aisle. The chancel, said to be the second longest in the country (60 ft; 18m), was added in 1230; it contains an 1895 reredos in Caen stone by W.S. Hicks,"

It was also believed that Arthur's last battle at Camlann, in which he was fatally wounded, was fought near the fort of Birdoswald, whose Roman name was thought to have been Camboglanna (although it is now thought that Birdoswald was really called Banna, with Castlesteads being Camboglanna).

"earlier name being ""Carmore"" or ""Carmure"". Camelot has become a permanent fixture in interpretations of the Arthurian legend. The symbolism of Camelot so impressed Alfred, Lord Tennyson that he wrote up a prose sketch on the castle as one of his earliest attempts to treat the legend. Modern stories typically retain Camelot's lack of precise location and its status as a symbol of the Arthurian world, though they typically transform the castle itself into romantically lavish visions of a High Middle Ages palace. Some writers of the ""realist"" strain of modern Arthurian fiction have attempted a more sensible Camelot. Inspired"
"with Queen Guinevere for example, the name might also be entirely invented. Arthur's court at Camelot is mentioned for the first time in Chrétien's poem ""Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart"", dating to the 1170s, though it does not appear in all the manuscripts. In the C manuscript (Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, fonds français 794, folio 27r), which might in fact contain the proper reading of Chretien's original text, instead of the place name we find the Old French phrase ""con lui plot"", meaning ""as he pleased"".
