Do a google search. The Natural (the movie and the novel) is generally regarded to be a retelling of Arthurian legend. It's been years since I've seen it, so I'm not sure whether Redford's character is supposed to be an Arthur- or Lancelot- or Galahad-type figure. I should see it again.

The legend is the Fisher King, about a knight whose wounds would not heal.

According to this syllabus. I'm in no position to disagree with Dr. Chance. She'd probably sue me if I did:
