Not illustrated. 1895 Excerpt: ... brothers, as also are Aglo.val and Perce.val), with which the name is often united, in rhyme even, since Gauvain is the father of Guinglain. The latest suggestion (March 27, 1895) on this point is that of E. Freymond,4 based on likenesses to our poems, especially to Wig., in the prose Livre d'Artus; viz. that the name is due to Gui(n). galois + Alain, the latter being in that text the grandfather of Gui. galois. This does not seem so probable as Zimmer's supposition, on the whole. 5.

In the Lai du Cor2 of Robert Biket, it is the king of Sinadoun who tries the horn next after Arthur. RENAUD'S USE OF THE PERCEVAL. BI shows traces of Renaud's acquaintance with Chretien's Perceval.
