Galadred is the common name for the ship between Sir Galahad and Sir Mordred, the most-tagged ship in the Arthuriana fandom on Archive of our Own. Though they do not interact in canon, many fans are drawn to their potential to act as foil characters. They have a number of parallels: Galahad is the illegitimate son of Sir Lancelot and Mordred is the illegitimate son of King Arthur, both are marked before birth by prophecies about their destinies, and both contribute, intentionally or unintentionally, to the downfall of the Round Table. However, whereas Galahad is held up as a paragon of spiritual purity and a Chosen One, Mordred is seen as wicked, traitorous, and conniving.
