Amilion

Amylion, Amylyon


An island of fairies west of Britain; home of the fairy lover of Sir Landevale and Sir Lambewell (versions of Launfal) in their respective Middle English romances.

The name is probably a variation of Avalon, used by Marie de France in her version of Launfal’s story. In Thomas Chestre’s tale of Lanfal, the island is known as Oléron.
