Joram

1. Joram

   A wise man and sage who served Vortigern.

   When Vortigern was having problems building his fortress at Snowden, it was Joram who advised him to sprinkle the foundation with the blood of a child with no father. This led to the arrival of Merlin, who humiliated Joram by showing Vortigern the real reason for the fortress’s failure.

2. Joram

   In Wirnt von Grafenberg's Wigalois, a king of Syria.

   He arrived at Arthur’s court at Caridoel (Cardueil) and offered Guinevere a magical belt, saying she could regard it as a present or else, if she preferred, he would come and fight for it. When she refused the gift, Joram challenged all of Arthur’s knights.

   Through the powers of the belt, he defeated all of the Knights of the Round Table in turn. Gawain was the last to fall. Joram took Gawain prisoner and led him back to Syria. There, Gawain married Joram’s niece, Florie, and their union produced Wigalois.
