MAHELOAS.
Arthurian. The lord of the Isle of Glass. An old French
form of Melwas (q.v.),
meaning "chief." Also see Melva.
Troyes in his Erec
speaks of Maheloas as the Lord of the Glass Island—"Li sire de
l'isle de voirre." Arthurian Legend, p. 52. (King
Arthur In History and Legend, Jones, 1914)
The earliest
analogue in the Arthurian romance is the description of Chrétien's
Erec
(the poem corresponding to the Geraint of the Mabinogion and to the Enid
of the Idylls) of the "isle de Voirre," the realm of King
Maheloas:
"En cele isle n'ot l'en
tonoirre
Ne n'i chiet foudre ne tempeste,
Ne boz ne serpanz n'i areste;
N'i fet trop chaut ne n'iverne."
The
"isle de Voirre" is of course Glastonbury, the urbs vitræ of
the twelfth century Vita S. Gildæ, where reigned the regulus
Melvas. (The Voyage of Bran, Meyer, 1895)
