The Lancelot-Grail Reader leaves out any bits about where the Lady of
Malehaut comes from and what she's doing at Guenevere's side by the time of
the Battle of Saxon Rock. I had to websearch even to find out her name. She's
also the mother of the Round Table knight Sir Dodinel, who was a fantastic
hunter, mostly because he refused to come home from the forest to eat and
sleep and stuff.
You will have noticed that I've taken advantage of Galehaut's heritage to not
have to invent a face for him. I thought of making Eglante a dwarf to the
same end, but not for long. It wasn't that I was afraid to leave another
character's face to the audience's imagination. It was the logistics of their
becoming lovers later that I didn't want distracting the audience. Plus I
have half-formed plans of keeping Eglante around as Guenevere's sidekick even
after the end of Galehaut's story (Guenevere made the complaint of which
Merlin speaks here), as today's
cartoon goes a ways to set up. Un-gender-bent female Arthurian characters who
aren't evil or mere extensions of their mens' stories are rare enough without
being saddled with invented one-note sight gags, which both can get old
quickly and can become obstacles to using the character.
