Meaning & History
Knight of the Round Table. Son of Pellinore (apparently his third in wedlock), brother of Perceval, Lamorat, Aglovale, Alain, and Tor le Fise Aries.The bulk of his adventures are found in the Prose Tristan. With his brother Alain, he guarded a bridge and jousted with all passers-by. He defeated King Mark of Cornwall in combat. He visited Mark’s court with his brother Lamorat and defeated all of Mark’s knights except for Tristan. An ongoing feud between Pellinore’s clan and Gawaine’s family eventually led to Drian being attacked by Agravain, Mordred, and Gawaine. After Drian defeated the first two, he was mortally wounded by Gawaine. His brother Lamorat died trying to avenge him.
