NIGHTBRINGER | The Arthurian Encyclopedia

Maurin of the Nimble Shanks


A knight taken prisoner by Lancelot during the tournament at Dyoflê in Ulrich’s Lanzelet. Ulrich attests to his uncommon speed.

Lancelot did not particularly want to take prisoners, but decided to take Maurin to let everyone know that he could have taken more if he had wished.
