Father of Brandelis, Meliant, and of a damsel named Guilorete.

Guilorete was seduced by Gawain in a forest pavilion in the First Continuation of Chrétien’s Perceval. When Norroiz heard of his daughter’s disgrace, he tracked Gawain down but was killed. His daughter later bore Gawain’s son. In The Jeaste of Sir Gawain, he is known as Gilbert.
