KNIGHTS of CACHELOT - SIR BAGDEMAGUS
Sir Bagdemagus is normally depicted as king of the land of Gorre and a Knight of the Round Table. Early in Arthur’s reign, Prince Bagdemagus was a major opponent of the British King, but eventually Bagdemagus became a firm supporter of the Arthurian Court and companion of his cousin, Sir Ywain, and also of Gawain. He had hoped to join the Round Table but, when a seat eventually became available, it was given to Sir Tor. Somewhat put out, he stormed out of Camelot and rode off into the forest. The young prince rode off in search of adventure. He found the holy herb that pointed the way to the Holy Grail. He discovered Merlin’s rocky prison and spoke to the old wizard but was unable to lift the stone which barred his escape. In all respects, he proved himself a good and honourable knight and, when he finally returned to Camelot, he was indeed made Knight of the Round Table.
