The Welsh romance Geraint speaks of an Amhar, son of Arthur as one of four squires attending the royal chambers. Indubitably the same person, the relative unimportance of his stature (he is not even named first among the squires) is taken as a sign of his illegitimacy.

22.     Colgrevance

M

When Lynette came to Arthur looking for someone to help her syster Lyonors against the Red Knight of the Red Lands, Gareth went with her, accompanied by a dwarf who knew his identity. Oh the way he overcame Black, Green, and Red Knights, and finally the Red Knight of the Red Landas – despite the fact that he had to put up with Lynette’s caustic tongue for she had no wish for her cause to be championed by a scullion, or kitchen drudge.

Originally named Medraut, a legendary and possibly historical Welsh figure who diasgrees with Arthur and does battle with him at Camlann, with fatal results for both.

In a churchyard in Penrith is the so-called Giant's Grave that was regarded for a long time as his and an elegy on his death was composed by the Welsh bard Taliesin.

He later became a hero of Welsh legend. He was pulled into Arthurian saga anachronistically, because he was unknown at the time Culwych and Olwen, which never mentions him, was written.

In some texts, Pelles is one of the Fisher Kings, but in Chrétien's Perceval the name of the Fisher King is never given and this is neither stated in the Perlesvaus. In the Didot-Perceval the Fisher King is Bron, Percival's grandfather, and not Pelles. In the Vulgate Cycle and Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur, Pelles is Fisher King once again and receives visits of Bors, Galahad, and Percival, during their quests for the Holy Grail. Finally, the Queste del Saint Graal mentions Pelles as the Fisher King, but also tells that the Fisher King and Pelles are two distinct characters.

A king, variously of Northgalis, Ireland, Denmark and the Land of Pastures and Giants. At the time of Arthur’s war with the eleven rebel rulers at the outset of his reign, Rience was at war with Leodegrance. He had a cloak made from the beards of eleven kings and sent to Arthur demanding his for the twelfth. War ensued, and Balin and Balan captured Rience and brought him captive to Arthur. Modern Welsh tradition describes Rience as a robber whom Arthur slew and buried in the vicinity of Llannwchllyn.

89.     Urien

M

From http://www.britannia.com/bios/ebk/urienrd.html

The most famous of the Kings of the North, and possibly one of the earliest Christian Kings. Tradition asserts that his court played host to the High-King Arthur whenever he was travelling through the North, and Urien is thought to have married Arthur's half-sister, the enigmatic Morgan Le Fay. The King of Rheged, however, must have been something of a toy-boy, even if Morgan was the High-King's neice as some sources insist. A geneaological based birth date of AD 490 for the king is historically unacceptable. It is possible, even probable, that Urien's wife was a different lady, Modron ferch Afallach, though this name has unfortunate immortal overtones.

90.     Yvain - Lord Brand Glendower

M

http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/yvnmenu.htm

92.     Angharhad Golden-Hand

F

The lover of Perceval in the Mabinogion. As first she refused to be his lover and he vowed that he would never speak to any Christian until she changed her mind. Lady Guest, in her edition of the Mabinogion, suggests that Angharad’s epithet indicated generosity.

F

http://www.pantheon.org/areas/folklore/arthurian/articles.html

Sister to Arthur in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae, second born to Uther and Ygerna (Igerne, Igraine) though his statements regarding her are inconsistent.

Iseult then fears that Brangaene will betray her. Iseult plots to have her killed but eventually relinquishes and spares her.

99.     Brisen

F

F

In Spenser’s Faerie Queene, a warrior maiden who was the daughter of Arthur’s foe, Rience. She married Artegall. Spenser took her name from that of the Cretan goddess Britomartis. The idea of a female knight may have been suggested to Spenser by Marfisa in Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso.

When Gwion, the cauldron’s attendant, accidentally imbibed the drops, he was swallowed by Ceridwen when he was in the form of a grain of wheat and she in that of a hen. She then gave birth to him as Taliesin. This story seems far older than the period of the historical Taliesin. It is similar to a tale told about the Irish hero, Finn mac Cool, and may enshrine a Celtic divinatory practice involving thumb chewing. This practice was known in early Ireland as Imbas Forosnai and seems to have rested on the notion that chewing the raw flesh of the thumb imparted sagacity.

105.  Clarissant - Arianna the harper

F

http://www.pantheon.org/articles/c/clarissant.html

A daughter of Lot and Morgause who married Guiromelant. She was the mother of Guigenor. According to a single Arthurian romance she was the sister of Gawain, who lived in a magic castle.

Only the Lance of Longinus, the carbuncle of the daughter of the King of Narsinga, and the oil of the pig of Tuis could dispose of the enchantments that surrounded him. Melora, dressed as a knight, defeated the King of Africa on behalf of the King of Babylon who gave her the Lance and sent Levander, his servant, to accompany her. They were imprisoned by the King of Asia but escaped with the aid of a guard, Uranus, and obtained the porcine oil from their captor.

141.  Morgan le Fay - HE Khadijah

http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/morgmenu.htm

142.  Morgause - HE Eithni ingen Talorgan

F

from http://www.kingarthursknights.com/others/morgause.asp

Morgause was the half-sister of Arthur who married Lot. She was the mother of Gawain, Gaheris, Agravain, Gareth, and Mordred. According to the Enfaces Gawain, Lot was her page with whom she had an intrigue, as a result of which Gawain was born. In Malory she is Lot's queen who, as the result of an amatory encounter with Arthur (who did not know they were related), gave birth to Mordred. Morgause was slain by her son Gaheris who found her in a relationship with Lamorak, whose father, Pellinore, had slain Lot.

Morgause does not seem to have been the original name of this character. In Geoffrey, the wife of Lot is called Anna, sister to Arthur. In De Ortu Waluuanii the part taken by Morgause in the Enfaces Gauvain is assigned to Anna; and the name Morgause itself seems to be in origin a territorial designation rather than a personal name, for in Diu Crone Gawain's mother is called Orcades or Morchades, which seems to be taken from the Orkneys (in Latin: Orcades), the name of one of Lot's kingdoms, and Morchades seems to be a variant form of Morgause.

A fairy who became the lover of Guinglain. She lived on the Golden Island. Her name means the Maiden with the White Hands.

146.  Pulzella Gaia

F

In Italian romance, the daughter of Morgan Le Fay by Hemison. Pulzella Gaia is in fact a title, not a name, signifying the Cheerful Damsel. She was abducted by Burlette della Diserta, but rescued by Lancelot. She was Gawain’s lover, but cautioned him never to reveal the existence of the affair. However, he did, so she no longer came when he summoned her. Guinevere, who had had her advances rejected by Gawain, arranged matters so that Gawain had to prove Puzella Gaia was his lover or die. Pulzella Gaia arrived with the fairy army to rescue him, but she told him her mother would  imprison her, which she did, making her stay up to her waist in water. However, Gawain rescued her and made Morgan captive.
