Clariel, Clarions, Phariouns, Plarion

A Saxon king who, under King Rions (Ryons), invaded Britain in the early days of Arthur’s reign. He was involved in the attack on Vandaliors castle, held by rebel kings.

He owned a magnificent horse named Gringolet. Gawaine took the horse from him in combat, and kept it for himself.

King Ban of Benoic slew Clarion at the battle of Carhaix.
