LEODEGRAUNCE. Arthurian.
King of Camelyard, and father of Guenever. Other forms include Laodegan,
Leodegan, and Leodogran.
Leodegraunce or Leodogran, king
of Camelyard, father of Guenever (king Arthur's wife). Uther the
pendragon gave him the famous Round Table, which would seat 150 knights
(pt. i. 45); and when Arthur married Guenever, Leodegraunce gave him the
table and 100 knights as a wedding gift (pt. i. 45). The table was
made by Merlin, and each seat had on it the name of the knight to whom
it belonged. One of the seats was called the "Siege
Perilous," because no one could sit on it without "peril of
his life" except sir Galahad the virtuous and chaste, who
accomplished the quest of the holy graal.—Sir T. Malory, History of
Prince Arthur (1470). (The
Reader's Handbook of Famous Names in Fiction, &c., Brewer, 1910)
Leodogran, the king of
Camellard [sic],
Had one fair daughter and none other child;
And she was fairest of all flesh on earth,
Guinevere, and in her his one delight.
Tennyson, Coming of Arthur.
