and is granted, due to his purity of heart, a vison of the holy grail

Lancelot is the premire knight in the court of King Arthur. On the battlefield, he is almost unbeatable. In his adventures, Lancelot slays all manner of annoying evil knights, and is granted, due to his purity of heart, a vison of the holy grail. What makes Lancelot interesting, however, is the central role he plays in the fall of Camelot due to his love of Queen Guenivere and his killing of Gareth, brother to Gawaine. Also noteworthy is his advent as a literary figure and his various portayals in modern fiction.

what is the meaning of the highlighted part?
