GALEHAUT

[Arthurian] Galehaut, the haute prince, or 'the high prince'. He was the ruler of the District Isles, Surluse and other kingdoms. His father was called Brunor and his mother was a giantess called Bagota. When he invaded Britain he became one of Arthur's enemies, but after his defeat at the hands of Lancelot, he became a devoted follower of that knight and through him a friend of Arthur. He was made a Knight of the Round Table. When he thought Lancelot was dead, he himself died from sickness and fasting.
