Sir Bellangere le Beuse

Also known as: Bellangere / Bellangere le Beuse · Family: Launcelot's kin · Role: knight · First appears: Book XVIII, Chapter XI

In Book XVIII, Chapter XI, Sir Bellangere le Beuse was an enemy of Sir Launcelot, sharing great hate and despite toward him, though they did not know him and Sir Lavaine. Sir Lavaine struck him down; Bellangere was the son of Alisander le Orphelin, and stood as Sir Lavaine’s rival in that encounter.

By Book XIX, Chapter XI, Bellangere had avenged the death of his father, Sir Alisander, becoming an enemy of King Mark. In Book XX, Chapter V, his kinship through his mother, Alice le Beale Pellerin, who was kin to Sir Launcelot, placed him with Sir Launcelot; he was among the knights who pledged obedience to him. Later, with Sir Palomides, Sir Bors, Sir Safere, Sir Blamore, and Sir Bleoberis, he did much harm among the opposing knights. At the end of Book XX, Sir Launcelot made Bellangere Earl of the Launds.
