Sir Ector
Sir Kay showeth the mystic sword unto Sir Ector, af Howard Pyle fra The Story of King Arthur and His Knights. (1903)
Sir Ector var ifølge legenderne Kong Arthurs plejefar. Efter Arthurs fader Uther Pendragons tidlige død, arrangerer Merlin at Arthur bliver sat i pleje hos sir Ector, uden at kende sit ophav. Sir Ector, der er kendt som den mest vise af alle ridderne oplærer Arthur i såvel sværdets som matematikkens kunst.
I ældre tekster kaldes han Cynyr Ceinfarfog (Flot skæg)
