Part of the Le Morte d'Arthur  series of caches. This cache is in honor of Sir Lionel


Lionel and his brother Bors accompanied Lancelot to Britain, where they became Knights of King Arthur's Round Table. One of his first tasks was to act, along with Bors, Gawain and Bedivere, as ambassador to the Emperor Lucius during the Roman Wars. Upon his return, Lionel accepted Lancelot's invitation to join him in adventure seeking. However, while Lancelot slept, Lionel tried to help three knights fleeing from a single adversary. All four were defeated by their opponent - a knight named Turquine - and thrown naked into prison. Lionel had to wait some time for release, since his companion was similarly imprisoned by the enchantress, Morgan Le Fay.

At other times, Lionel helped in the search for Sir Tristram; and then for Sir Lancelot, when he ran from the court in a fit of madness, having argued with Queen Guinevere over his extra curricula activities. During the Grail Quest, poor Lionel was captured by two evil knights who stripped him naked, bound him and foot and dragged him along the highway while thrashing him with thorns. His brother, Sir Bors, encountered them, but was obliged to abandon any rescue in order to save a nearby virgin from being raped. Unsurprisingly, Lionel was not pleased at his brother's actions and, when next the two met, he threatened to run Bors through with his sword. Bors refused to defend himself, until a hermit and then Sir Colgrevance, were slain trying to break the two up. When Bors finally reached for his sword, a ball of fire descended from Heaven to stop the fight.

the cache is located down the sidewalk next to the parking lot
