Legendary Lohengrin, the Swan Knight, a mysterious knight who arrives in a boat drawn by a swan, all to help a noble lady in distress.

The tale first appeared in Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Parzival (c. 1210), a poem with the theme of the Holy Grail.

It was also turned into a Romantic opera written by Richard Wagner, first performed in 1850
