Mataliz

Mataaliz, Mathaaliz, Maugalis

A British knight who was the son of le seignor des Mares and brother of Sir Ladomas and was the enemy of Synados of Windsor.

He attacked Synados’s company of three knights with seventeen of his own, but Arthur’s Sir Hector (Ector de Maris) – summoned by Synados’s wife – arrived and killed Mataliz. Hector later came upon Mataliz’s funeral and was attacked by several knights, but Ladomas called off the attackers and let Hector go.
