Meaning & History
The proper name given to the King with a Hundred Knights in the early prose Lancelot tales. The King is given other names in other sources, and in Lancelot of the Laik, Malaguin and the King with a Hundred Knights are separate characters, although both are kings in Galehaut’s service. Margon, the King’s name in the Third Continuation of Chrétien’s Perceval, may originate with Malaguin.
