Marine

Two entries with the name Marine.


Marine


In Wirnt von Grafenberg’s Wigalois, a lady from Alarie.

She became a knight – one of the only female knights in Arthurian romance – after her grandfather, Count Adan of Alarie, was captured by King Roaz of Glois at a battle in Damascus. Marine collected a troop of female warriors and entered into the service of Queen Elamie.

She joined Gawain’s son Wigalois (who had rescued her grandfather) in his campaign against Prince Lion of Namur, and she was tragically killed in battle by Duke Galopear of Greece. Adan avenged her death by slaying Galopear.
