Affair of the False Grail

The Affair of the False Grail was a series of events in which the Duke Mousillon attempted to claim the throne of Bretonnia.

In 1319 (2297), Duke Maldred of Mousillon claimed to have taken the Lady of the Lake as his wife. He and his consort, Malfleur, appeared with a shining cup, which they said was the Grail, and many knights who felt unfairly treated flocked to their banner.

As the Duke rode to Gisoreux to claim the crown, he was met by the army of the King. Maldred held aloft the grail, asking who dared to stand against its bearer.

Whilst the opposing army stood silent, the Green Knight emerged from the forest, and turned to challenge the Duke. At that moment, all saw the Lady of the Lake standing beside the King, the true Grail in her hand. The fake was revealed for the tawdry thing it was, and Maldred's followers deserted him en masse. The Duke fled back to his castle, but the King deprived him of both title and noble status. Since that time, there has been no Duke of Mousillon.
