=== Aglovale === [[File:Blason imaginaire d'Agloval de Listenois.svg|thumb|upright|left|The [[attributed arms]] of Agloval]] '''Aglovale de Galis''' (''Agglovale'', ''Aglaval[e]'', ''Agloval'', ''Aglován'', ''Aglovaus'', etc.; -''de Galles'', -''le Gallois'', -''de Listenois'') is the eldest legitimate son of [[King Pellinore]] of Galis ([[Wales in the Middle Ages|Wales]]), introduced in the [[Vulgate Cycle|Vulgate ''Lancelot'']]. Like his father and his brothers (who may include [[#Drian|Drian]], [[Lamorak]], the original Grail hero [[Perceval]], and [[Sir Tor|Tor]]), he is a Knight of the [[Round Table]]. According to the [[Post-Vulgate Cycle|Post Vulgate Cycle]], and [[Thomas Malory]]'s ''[[Le Morte d'Arthur]]'', Aglovale is the one who brings his long lost brother Percival to [[Camelot]] to be knighted after meeting him by chance in Perceval's woods. In an alternative account in the ''Livre d'Artus'' version of the [[Vulgate Cycle|Vulgate ''Merlin'']], the young Agloval has all of his fourteen brothers killed during the Saxon wars by the forces of King [[Rions]]' relative King Agrippa in their attack on his mother's domain. [[File:Queen Guenever's Peril.png|thumb|upright|"Queen Guenever's Peril." Alfred Kappes's illustration for ''[[The Boy's King Arthur]]'' (1880)]] In the ''Livre d'Artus'', Agloval then accompanies [[Gawain]] and [[Sagramore]] in leading an army that defeats the invaders, personally slaying Agrippa but suffering severe wounds. In the Third (Manessier's) Continuation of ''[[Perceval, the Story of the Grail|Perceval]]'', Agloval dies seven years after Percival became the Grail King, causing Percival's retirement to a hermitage to grieve for his final ten years.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=z0PoCQAAQBAJ&pg=PA555|title = The Complete Story of the Grail: Chrétien de Troyes' Perceval and Its Continuations|isbn = 9781843844006|last1 = de Troyes|first1 = Chrétien|year = 2015| publisher=Boydell & Brewer }}</ref> In the [[Vulgate Cycle]], Aglovale dies accidentally at Gawain's hand during the Quest for the [[Holy Grail]]. However, the rewrite in the Post-Vulgate ''Queste'' turns it into a deliberate murder, a part of the Orkney clan's long vendetta for the death of [[King Lot]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=klsMZ41xAREC&pg=PA67|title=Lancelot-Grail|year=2010|isbn=9781843842385|last1=Lacy|first1=Norris J.|publisher=Boydell & Brewer }}</ref> In Malory, he is among the knights charged by [[King Arthur]] with defending the execution of [[Guinevere]], and is killed by unknown hand during the bloody melee when [[Lancelot]] and his men rescue the queen. Aglovale appears prominently in the Dutch romance ''[[Moriaen]]'', in which '''Acglavael''' visits [[Moors|Moorish]] lands in Africa and meets a Christian princess whom he conceives a child with. He returns home and, thirteen years later, his son Morien comes to find him after which they both return to Morien's lands. In modern works, Aglovale is the eponymous protagonist of [[Clemence Housman]]'s 1905 novel ''The Life of Sir Aglovale de Galis''. {{Clear left}}
