Is there a list in one of the battletomes that would allow me to use a mostly mounted force made up of my old bretonian knights
or are they not really suited for anything at the moment?

Officially not really. Free people knights.

Unofficially

Go here: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Warhammer?N=2070689437+1997395182&Nr=AND%28sku.siteId%3AUS_gw%2Cproduct.locale%3Aen_US_gw%29&Nrs=collection%28%29%2Frecord%5Bproduct.startDate+%3C%3D+1566686040000+and+product.endDate+%3E%3D+1566686040000%5D&view=all

I think there might also be something in the Generals Handbook 2019?

Legion of Blood maybe? Blood Knights for... well, your Knights, Skeletons for your Peasants, Vampires for Damsels, Paladins, etc.

This. There are a couple of issues with the list:

1) The only allegience you can use is Order, which gives you a battleshock reroll - rendering most of the battleshock tricks from banners etc irrelevant.
2) Your noble champion is listed as having a 'champion's shield' which has no rules. Most bretonnian shields give you rerolls of '1' to save if you charged, but this guy's the one on foot...so it's hard to guess. He has a 3+ save anyway so it could be worse.

They're not a bad list. If an opponent (or TO) will let you use them, they're pretty good. Stack them with 'generic' general abilities and artefacts and you're good to go.

Grail Knights do eye-watering amounts of damage to DEATH units on the charge, and anyone who dismisses the army as 'obsolete' will probably change their opinion the first time a grail knight unit rides straight over the top of a formation of skeleton infantry without detectably slowing down....

The Sacred Protector (Green Knight) is incredibly annoying to kill. Give him a phoenix stone, and you've got a 3+ unmodifiable save, plus a 6+ ignore injury (which works on mortal wounds too), plus recover one lost wound a turn, with 5 wounds, for only 200 points. He's irritatingly good at holding stuff up.

Well it'd be a damned sight stranger issue if you could align your Bretonnians with Death/Destruction/Chaos.
That others gain better perks for banners is merely unfortunate.

Yeah, we noticed that. We figured it t's what accounts for the 3+ while on foot. + an eye roll at GWs penchant for giving everything a special name....

I've never worried about tourney acceptance/viability. If that's where you're headed then it's on you to bring a force that fits whatever format/restrictions they've chosen. And to ask ahead of time if there's any questions.

Opponents outside tournies: If you run into someone who won't let you play a list that's valid for the edition? That's a sign you shouldn't waste your time playing with that person to begin with.
