HOWEL.  Arthurian.  A king of Brittany.  It is an English form of Welsh Hywel (q.v.), meaning "sharp-sighted." (Celtic Remains, Morris, 1878).

    Then they blew to the field; and there the King of Northgalis encountered with the King of Scots, and there the King of Scots had a fall; and the King of Ireland smote down King Uriens; and the King of Northumberland smote down King Howel of Brittany; and Sir Galahd, the haut prince, smote down Chaleins of Clarance.  And then King Arthur was wood wroth, and ran to the King with the Hundred Knights, and there King Arthur smote him down; and after with that same spear King Arthur smote down three other knights... (Le morte d'Arthur, Malory, v.2, 1912)
