I'm confused

Apparently it's news to a lot of you that Viviane, the Lady of the Lake, raised Lancelot. Why did you think his name was Lancelot du Lac?

(This is a serious question, btw; if La Dame du Lac didn't raise him, why is his name Lancelot of the Lake?)

I was reading Arthurians (or versions of Arthurians, anyway) before I had any French, so even if I'd realized Viviane was La Dame du Lac, the connection wouldn't have occurred to me...*embarrassed*

Well, it does help to be French to make that connection so there's nothing to be embarrassed about.
