SEBILLE. Arthurian.
A fairy queen who may have been an ancestor to Arthur.
It closely resembles Italian Sibulla
(q.v.), meaning "a Sibyl; a wise old woman." (The Vulgate Version of the
Arthurian Romances, 1916)
In Perceforest, Sebille la Dame du Lac, whose castle was surrounded by a
river on which lay so dense a fog that no one could see across the
water, though not called so, was evidently a fay. The fortnight
that Alexander the Great and Floridas abode with her, to be cured of
their wounds, seemed to them but as one night. During that night,
"la dame demoura enceinte du roy dung filz, dont de ce lignage
yssit le roi Artus."
In the same romance we are told that "en lysle
de Zellande jadis fut demourante une faee qui estoit appellee
Morgane." This Morgane was very intimate with "ung
esperit (named Zephir) qui repairoit es lieux acquatiques, mais jamais
nestoit veu que de nuyt." Zephir had been in the habit of
repairing to Morgane la Faee from her youth up, "car elle estoit
malicieuse et subtille et tousjours aviot moult desire a aucunement
sçavoir des enchantemens et des conjurations." He had
committed to her charge the young Passelyon and his cousin Bennucq, to
be brought up, and Passelyon was detected in an intrigue with the young
Morgane, daughter of the fay. The various adventures of this
amorous youth form one of the most interesting portions of the romance.
