=== Cligès ===
'''Cligès''' is the title hero of [[Chrétien de Troyes]]' French poem ''[[Cligès]]'' (and its foreign versions). There, he is an offspring of Arthur's niece Soredamors and Alexander, a son of the Greek ([[Byzantine]]) Emperor. Following his adventures, Cliges eventually marries Fenice, a daughter of the German Emperor, and becomes the Greek Emperor himself.

As Cligés (''Clicés'', ''Clies'', ''Clygés''), he also appears in some other French Arthurian romances, including in the First Continuation of Chrétien's ''[[Perceval, the Story of the Grail|Perceval]]'' (where his father is named [[#Lac|King Lac]]) and in ''Claris et Laris''. In the ''[[Romanz du reis Yder]]'', he serves Queen Guenloie ([[Guinevere]]) until he is expelled from her court after he criticizes her love for [[Yder]] (who later promises to reconcile them).<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uNu7GWgXm-EC&pg=PA16|title=The Romance of Yder|last=Adams|first=Alison|date=1983|publisher=DS Brewer|language=en|isbn=9780859911337}}</ref> In ''{{ill|The Marvels of Rigomer|fr|Les Merveilles de Rigomer}}'', he hails from Greece and participates in the quest to conquer Rigomer Castle as one of [[Gawain]]'s many companions; he also defeats the undead knight in his own episode.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lk0aBwAAQBAJ&pg=PA29|title=Vendetta: Essays on Honor and Revenge|last=Summerfield|first=Giovanna|date=2010|publisher=Cambridge Scholars Publishing|language=en|isbn=9781443821018}}</ref> As '''Clias the Greek''' (''der Grieche Clîas''), he has a role in the German ''[[Parzival]]''.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EILfrXHZ25UC&pg=PA52|title=A Companion to Wolfram's Parzival|first=Will|last=Hasty|date= 1999|publisher=Boydell & Brewer|isbn=9781571131522|via=Google Books}}</ref> [[Thomas Malory]]'s Urry list calls him Sir '''Clegis''' (despite a similar name, Clegis is not in any way connected with the English ''[[Sir Cleges]]'', the hero of a completely different story set in the times of Arthur's father [[Uther Pendragon]]<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=idZRDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA16|title=The Three Days ́ Tournament|first=Jessie L.|last=Weston|date= 2018|publisher=BoD – Books on Demand|isbn=9783732651238|via=Google Books}}</ref>).
