Lancelot grins at her, glad of her clear interest. "The shield you have sometimes seen me use actually belongs to the King, and at times it feels strange to use it. I would keep my own device -- I like it well, though I did not choose it. Such things are generally given to one by the ruler who has made one a knight, and so Arthur granted mine. In the register, it is described as field argent, two bendlets gules."

He casts around and manages to find a pencil and a scrap of paper, on which he draws the basic outline of the device shown in this icon. "This means: the field, the background, is white, these two stripes -- the bendlets -- are red."
