AGRAWAIN. In
Arthurian legend, the name of a knight of the Round Table, surnamed
"the desirous" or "the haughty." Also
spelled Agravain.
Agrawain, Sir, or
Agravain, known also as "The Desirous" and "The
Haughty" (L'orgueilleux), is described by Sir Thomas Malory,
Morte d'Arthur, iii, 142, as the son of Lot, king of Orkney, and
his queen Margawse, half sister of King Arthur. He sympathized
with Sir Mordred in his hatred of Sir Launcelot. They were the
first to awaken Arthur's suspicions in regard to Guinevere, asking him
to spend the day in hunting while they kept watch over the queen's
movements. According to their expectation Guinevere summoned Sir
Launcelot to her private chamber; the watchers with twelve other knights
broke down the door, but Launcelot slew all of them save Mordred, who
made good his escape. (Heroes and Heroines of Fiction, Walsh,
1915)
