>Heck, Lancelot was a self-insert hero, that came during a renaissance around the myths. The way I understand it, the French also loved the tale(s) of King Arthur but hated that they didn't have a role in it because Anglo/French rivalry is like that. So they wrote fanfiction (Lancelot), which eventually became part of canon.
