She died of unrequited love for Sir Lancelot and drifted to Camelot in a boat. Thomas Malory expanded on her story in his 15th-century "Le Morte d'Arthur," relating that she had nursed him back to health after he was wounded in a tournament and that she was the mother of Sir Galahad. After the story was adapted by Alfred Tennyson in 1858's "Idylls of the King" her name became a popular choice for newborn girls.
