The Fisher King
The Fisher King - history / literature / mythology -
The "Fisher King" is a character in the mythology of King Arthur whose ancestors were responsible for guarding the Holy Grail. A wound rendered the Fisher King unable to walk; consequently, he spent most of his days fishing by the river near his castle. His injury also left him impotent, and therefore unable to provide an heir to continue protecting the Grail. The Fisher King's lands withered as a result.
In most versions of the story, the King is healed by Percival -- one of Arthur's knights -- though methods differ from tale to tale.
