No, Lancelot was a jerk.
If you know the true story (myth), he was bisexual. He was cheating on Arthur behind Guineveres back and on Guinevere behind Arthurs back.
i.e., Jerk.

When 1337 hax0rs start impaling each other with swords and typing code with a hook on one hand, then they can modify the term "pirate."
His gate was swingin in several directions?
His divining rod pointed to both poles?
He found a way to plug his cable into female and MALE ports?
Ok, I'll stop now.

You have have his name spelt incorrectly. It's 'Bedevere', so any internet searches would be difficult. Also, doing a search throws up pages of links to Monty's Holy Grail and the witch trial scene. Be prepared to sift.
He was one of the knights of the round table, one of the last to die. Also known as the wisest of the knights.
He carried Arthur to the lake where he was handed over to the ladies in the barge who took him to Avalon.
Arthur, needing to fulfil his promise to the Lady of the Lake, asked Bedevere to return to the battlefield to retriive Excalibur and throw it into the Lake. Bedevere, realising the end of an age was present with the death of the king realised the value of Excalibur in preserving the Kingdom, hid thesword and reported to the king that he had done so. The king asked what he saw. Bedevere said that he saw nothing.
This episode was repeated a second time, and then on the third time, Bedevere did as the king willed and threw the sword into the Lake, upon which a hand raised up, seized the thrown sword and took it under water.
The king knew that bedever was telling the truth when this was reported to him.
An interesting angle to take on a research paper would be to compare the legend with the relationship between the apostle Peter and Jesus Christ. Before Christ's death, Peter also lied. In this instance though, he lied all three times, whereas Bedevere only did this twice and then obeyed on the third. Peter was one of the disciples, the close group chosen by Jesus to accompany him on his travels. Very similar to the 'Round Table' group. Bedevere is later reported to be seen as a Bishop in Glastonbury, who also helps Launcelot to find penance. Peter ended up running the christian church after Christ's death.
A link like this is quite significant, particularly when a large portion of the legend of Arthur relates to finding the Holy Grail (or Graal - sp) which was the cup of Christ, used at the last supper. Also quite fitting due to the British legends that Christ actually visited England. The hymn 'Jerusalem' hints that he visited; the old Welsh miner's song "Joseph was a tin man" alleging that Joseph of Arimithea had dealings with the tin mines in England.
Myth abounds that Mary Magdalene (rumoured to have been Christ's wife) and his mother were brought here after his crucifixion to protect them.
English royalty have always made a claim to be descendants of christ's lineage.
It's just one interesting angle I came up with. You could fill a few pages with this stuff that most other kids wouldn't be subitting. Get some points for originality or something.
