Maine

1. Maine
   Maines, Mainet, Meines, Mene, Moine, Moyne

   In the Vulgate Merlin, Arthur’s great uncle, apparently the oldest, of King Constans of England, Arthur's grandfather, who preceded Vortigern as King of Britain. He is called Constans in the chronicles.

   The son of Constantine and Ivoire, and brother of Uther and Pendragon, Maine was foisted to the throne by Vortigern after his father’s death. He was an impotent king, and Vortigern eventually had him assassinated, killed by a dozen barons who wanted Vortigern for their king. Maine survived and was avenged by his brothers, Uther and Pendragon.

   This alternate name for Constans undoubtedly comes from his title in the chronicles: le Moine, or "the Monk".
