Gilbert
Sir Gilbert, noted for the sanative virtue of his sword and cere-cloth. Sir Launcelot touched the wounds of sir Meliot with sir Gilbert’s sword and wiped them with the cere-cloth, and “anon a wholer man was he never in all his life.” Le Morte d'Arthur By Sir Thomas Malory
"So the party having first sent Sir Gilbert before them to herald their approach arrived at the court of Cadoris, king of Scotland. And never was king or knights more royally received than was Arthur and his men. Of a truth, there was warm affection for Arthur, and Cadoris and his knights, though they held great rivalry, for the Knights of the Round Table had ever proven honest and worthy opponents." In The Court of King Arthur By Samuel E. Lowe
"“Why say ye so?” replied Sir Lancelot; “for I never harmed this knight, and am full sorely grieved to see thy sorrow.”
“Nay, sir,” said the lady, “I see it is not thou hast slain my husband, for he that truly did that deed is deeply wounded, and shall never more recover.”
“What is thy husband’s name?” said Sir Lancelot.
“His name,” she answered, “was Sir Gilbert—one of the best knights in all the world; but I know not his name who hath slain him.”
“God send thee comfort,” said Sir Lancelot, and departed again into the forest." The Legends of King Arthur And His Knights By Sir James Knowles
