Thanks for reading.
King or Duke Hoel of Brittany is a kinsman of Arthur's in Geoffrey of
Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain, but Geoffrey
can't make up his
mind whether Hoel is a cousin or a nephew. But if he's a nephew, it's by
Arthur's full sister Anna, who must be younger than Arthur is (since Arthur
was conceived the first time Uther and Ygraine slept together), which is too
young to have a son who's a king (or a duke) during Arthur's succession wars,
when Arthur was fifteen at succession.
Anna, you may recall from previous annotation, is fated to marry Pellinore. I haven't figured out quite how that'll work in AKOTAS, since Pellinore already has a family. I'm nearly as confused as Hoel is, and I still may leave Anna out entirely since there's nothing else about her in the stories except that she marries Pellinore. (Joan Wolfe in The Road to Avalon puts an interesting twist on it: Pellinore marries Morgause after Lot is dead.) |
