feanoriel:Arthurian Characters’ Posters: The Family of Orkney: Morgause, Gawain, Agravaine, Gaheris, Gareth, Mordred, Clarissant, SoredamorExplanation: meanwhile Gawain, Agravaine, Gaheris, Gareth and Mordred are always reported such as children of Queen Morgause of Orkney (even if the names of Gaheris and Gareth are reported in their English form only in Thomas Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur), Clarissant and Soredamor appeared only in few versions. Clarissant appeared in Chretien de Troyes’ Perceval ou Le cont du Graal, and Soredamor in another work of Chretien de Troyes, a poem entitled Cliges. (Soredamor, according with this poem, means “fair by love”, where “fair” stayed for an ancient French adjective that indicated blonde or red hair, so my translation is terribly inaccurate, sorry). Sometimes Chretien de Troyes described Agravaine as “proud” and Clarissant as “wise”, but these adjectives aren’t their nickname. On the other side, according to Malory, “The Maiden’s Knight” is a sort of “title” for Gawain, and so “the Kitchen’s Knight” for Gareth. -- source link
