Lamorak de Galis

by Brian Edward Rise

 
Son of Pellinore, brother of Perceval and a knight of renown. He is also the lover of Morgause, Queen of Orkney. When the two lovers are discovered by Morgause’s son Gaheris (whose father Lot was slain by Pellinore), Gaheris slays his mother but spares Lamorak because he is unarmed. Shortly afterwards Gawain and his brothers kill Lamorak in revenge.

Gaheris

by Brian Edward Rise

 
A son of Lot and Morgause and younger brother to Gawain. He is not always distinguished from his brother Gareth in the romances, the possible result of the splitting of a single character. Gareth marries Lyones and Gaheris marries her sister Lynet in Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur. Gaheris also slays his mother when he discovers her with Lamorak, the son of Sir Pellinore. Gaheris and Gareth are killed in the fighting that follows Lancelot’s rescue of Guinevere from the stake.
