Sir Pellinore

Sir Pelinore is a character from the film, The Sword in the Stone. He was voiced by Alan Napier.

Background
Sir Pelinore is one of Uther Pendragon's knights. He is shown to be an old friend of Sir Ector. In contrast to Sir Ector, Pelinore is a bit quieter, and is a slender man. He seems to be aware of Kay's nature, as he notes that the idea of a King Kay is a dreadful thought. He has little interaction with Arthur, but does stand up for him at the tournament, showing a friendly relationship. One running gag is that he often spills things on his mustache, causing him to sniffle.

The Sword in the Stone
Pelinore arrives on horseback at Sir Ector's castle one rainy night (the same night that Merlin arrived at the castle), stating that he had news from London. After being invited in and drying off, Pelinore annouces that a jousting tournament will be held in London on New Year's Day. Ector scoffs, as a jousting tournament is held yearly. Pelinore reveals that this year is different, as the winner will become King of England. Sir Ector grows excited, and tells Kay that he could win it. All Kay would have to do is buckle down on his training and he could be knighted by Christmas. Kay shrugs but agrees.

Pelinore then appears at Christmas, celebrating the holiday with Sir Ector and Kay. It is revealed that Kay has recently been knighted. Sir Ector is happy at the prospect of Kay winning the tournament and becoming king. Humorously, Pelinore notes that the idea of a King Kay is dreadful.

Pelinore accompanies Ector, Kay, and Arthur to London to watch the tournament. While there, Arthur unwittingly pulls the Sword in the Stone from its resting place. When Arthur is asked to prove that he actually did it, other knights interfere and try to pull it themselves. Pelinore, along with another knight, Black Bart, both step in. Pelinore convinces everyone to let Arthur try it, and encourages Arthur in his attempt. Pelinore then cheers the new King Arthur along with the rest of the crowd.
