The North African kingdom features in several Arthurian texts: Geoffrey of Monmouth says that Arthur killed King Sertorious of Libya, an ally of Lucius the Roman, during the Roman War. The Alliterative Morte Arthure says that this king was slain by Cador of Cornwall.

In Wirnt von Grafenberg’s Wigalois, King Amire of Libya is murdered, but his death is avenged by Gawain’s son Wigalois. Finally, the Prose Lancelot features a mysterious beast called the 'Crowned Lion of Libya' that was killed by Lionel.
