la Cauchie Norgalois, North Wales Bridge, le Pont Norgalois, Welsh Causeway
One of only two bridges connecting Arthur’s Britain with Galehaut’s kingdom of Sorelois. The other was the Irish Bridge.
The North Wales Bridge was submerged in parts, and was defended at the Sorelois end by a strong tower and a stout knight. Only five knights ever made it across alive – these included Gawain, Meliant, Yder, Dodinel, and Arthur. Its description is reminiscent of Chrétien’s Underwater Bridge.
