BICOIR. In
7th century Arthurian legend, the father of Arthur. Meaning unknown.
... Beccuri is a genitive which
appears in Irish Chronicles as Bicoir; the Four Masters have it,
under A.D. 620, in the designation of a man whom they call Artur mac
Bicair, and Tigernach, according to Stokes, Revue Celtique, xvii,
178, has "ab Artuir filio Bicoir Britone"; and Professor K.
Meyer, in Nutt's Voyage of Bran, i, 84, finds the same entry in
the Bodleian MS., Rawlinson, B. 488, fo. 9b, 2, where one reads:—Mongan
mac Fíachna Lurgan ab Artuir filio Bicoir Pretene lapite percussus
interit, "Mongan mc Fiachna Lurgan dies struck with a stone by
Arthur, son of Bicor of Preten"... the obscurity and unusualness of
the name Beccur or Bicor, makes it almost certain that we have a
reference in the epitaph to the same man who is mentioned in the
chronicle entry just cited... (Y Cymmrodor, Soc. of Cymmrodorion,
1904)
