BELAKANE. Arthurian.
African. In
the 12th century German epic Parzival, by Wolfram von
Eschenbach, this is the name of Percival's
stepmother, an African queen. The name may mean "pelican"
(cf. Greek
πελεκἁν);
or, it may be related to Balkis
(Balqis), the Arabic name for the
Queen of Sheba, meaning "concubine." (Aus Literatur und
Symbolik, Cassel, 1884).
... In his
journeyings he came to Patelamunt, in the land of the Moors, where the
queen, Belakane, was beset by enemies. Then Gamuret came to
her aid, and defeated her enemies; the queen wedded him, and he became
king of Assagog and Zassamank. But after a time he waxed weary,
since there was no fighting to be done, and he also thought it ill that
his wife should be a heathen, so he sailed away secretly, leaving a letter
which told of his rank and lineage. After his departure Belakane
gave birth to a son, who was black and white even as his parents came of
differing races, and she called her son's name Feirefis Angevin. (Legends
of the Wagner Drama, Weston, 1903)
