NIGHTBRINGER | The Arthurian Encyclopedia

Elergia


A sorceress who entraps Arthur in La Tavola Ritonda.

She was the daughter of Lady Escorducarla of Avalon. Her mother created the palace of Grande Disio for her.

She found Arthur in the forest of Darnantes and slipped an enchanted ring on his finger, which caused him to lose his memory. One of the Lady of the Lake’s servants summoned help from Tristan, who went to Grande Disio and slew Elergia’s four brothers.

Arthur himself beheaded the sorceress. Escorducarla plotted revenge on Arthur but failed.

Malory calls her Aunowre (Annowre).
