Galatine

Galantine, Galantyne, Galuth

Gawaine’s sword, given to him by the Lady of the Lake. Malory calls it Galantyne and Gawaine used it in the Roman War.

It is described as a powerful and radiant sword, often depicted as having a blad as bright as the sun. Galatine is closely linked to Gawain’s character and his reputation as a noble and courageous knight.

The Alliterative Morte Arthure calls it Galuth.
