'''Segwarides''' (''Seguarades'', ''Seguradés'', ''Seguradez'', etc.) is a son of the [[Saracen]] king [[Esclabor]] who becomes a [[Vassal|liegeman]] of [[King Mark]]. His other brothers include the fellow [[Round Table]] knights [[Palamedes (Arthurian legend)|Palamedes]] and [[Safir (Arthurian legend)|Safir]]. It is possible there have been originally two characters of this name, but the stories in which they appear fail to differentiate between them.

He is cuckolded by [[Tristan]] in the [[Prose Tristan|Prose ''Tristan'']] and Thomas Malory's ''[[Le Morte d'Arthur]]''. Tristan has a brief affair with Segwarides' wife, and wounds the knight after being found out. Tristan encounters Segwarides again on the Isle of Servage; Segwarides forgives him, saying he "will never hate a noble knight for a light lady," and the two team up to avoid the dangers of the isle. Soon afterwards, Tristan makes Segwarides the Lord of Servage. In Malory, Segwarides is eventually killed trying to repel [[Lancelot]]'s rescue of [[Guinevere]] from the stake. {{Clear left}}
