Guengasoain

Gasouains, Guengasouains, Guengosoain

A treacherous knight who murdered the noble knight Raguidel.

Guengasoain’s benefactress, Lingrenote the sorceress, made him so powerful that no single knight could defeat him. He kept a ferocious bear as a companion in case more than one knight should engage him. Gawain and Yder, seeking to avenge Raguidel’s death, nevertheless killed Guengasoain.

Yder married his daughter, Trevilonete. Guengasoain’s uncle was King Aguissant of Scotland (Angusel). His brother was named King Bueves.
