BREDBEDDLE. Arthurian
legend name of one of King Arthur's knights, known as the Green Knight.
Arthur's
knights gather at court on Christmas Day and hold feast. Leaving
Arthur, the poet tells us about Sir Bredbeddle, a knight of the west
country. He has a beautiful wife:
because Sir
Gawaine was stiffe in stowre
shee loued him priuilye paramour,
& shee neuer him see.
Her mother, who is a witch,
named Agostes, transposes the shape of Sir Bredbeddle and sends him to
King Arthur's court.
all was for her
daughters sake,
that which she soe sadlye spake
to her sonne-in-law the Knight
because Sir Gawaine was bold and hardye,
& therto full of curstesye
to bring him into her sight.
—The Grene Knight.
