NIGHTBRINGER | The Arthurian Encyclopedia

Alderman of Escavalon

Mayor and Magistrates

Chrétien describes these worthies as so sleek and paunchy they could certainly not have been taking any purgatives. Their immediate mobilization and willingness not only to summon the townsfolk but to lead the mob attack on Gawaine as soon as a vavasour calls his presence to their attention strikes me as less stereotypical than their appearance.
