Enide’s Sorrel Palfrey


This mount, presented to Enide by Guivret the Little and his sisters to replace the notable dappled palfrey she had lost while following Erec’s adventures, had a tricolored head with one cheek white, the other black, and a line greener than a vine separating the white and black sides. (One thinks of the “horse of a different color”.)

D.D.R. Owen remarks that both this palfrey and Enide’s earlier one may have been supernatural in origin.
