In the Lancelot-Vulgate (Lancelot-Grail-Cycle), the Lady of the Lake's parting words to Lancelot included the following revelations and advice:

"My dear prince, you are about to leave me. I want you to know that you are not my son, but were born to one of the finest knights and most honorable men in the world and to one of the best and most beautiful ladies to have ever lived. You can't know any more about either father or mother right now, but soon you will know the truth."

"Take care to be as beautiful in your heart as you are in body and in limb, for you have as much beauty as God could bestow on any child and it would be a great wrong if your prowess did not prove its equal."

And once you have been knighted, do not delay a single night in his house, but start your travels through all the lands in search of wonders and adventures, so that you can gain fame and renown."

"Never stop in one place longer than you have to, and take care that you do all you can [to] not be surpassed by anyone in feats of chivalry."

"If the king asks you who you are or what your name is or who I am, just say you don't know, except that I am a lady and that I brought you up. I have likewise forbidden your squires to say anything more than that."

"My dear prince, I leave you with this teaching: the more you succeed in harsh and dangerous adventures, the more confident you will be of succeeding in others."

"And when now and then you find a challenge that, with all your God-given knightly skills, you cannot meet, remember that there is no man born who could do so in your place."

"I would say much more but can't. My heart is very heavy, and I find it hard to speak. Be on your way now, my good, fair, gracious prince. Sought after by all men and loved by all women more than any other knight, that's how you will be. I know."

Then she kissed his mouth, his cheeks, and his eyes with tenderness and turned away, so choked with sorrow that she could not utter another words. The boy was deeply moved, and his eyes filled with tears.
