Argante

1. Argante
   

   The Queen of Avalon (in Layamon), a 'radiant elf', to whom Arthur went after his last battle at Camlann.

   The name Argante may be a corruption of Morgan, who is traditionally the queen that receives Arthur's body. It has been suggested that she was a form of the British goddess Arianhrod.
