Based on the German Arthurian literary character Lohengrin, Richard Wagner's three act Romantic opera concerns the son of Parzival (Percival), a knight of the Holy Grail who sent in a boat pulled by swans to rescue a maiden who can never ask his identity. The story of Lohengrin, which first appears in Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival, is a version of the Knight of the Swan legend known from a variety of medieval sources.
