- Meliodas
-
Meliodas or Meliadus is a figure in Arthurian legend, famous as the father of Sir Tristan in the Prose Tristan and subsequent accounts that draw material from it, including the Post-Vulgate Cycle, Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, and the Compilation of Rustichello da Pisa. He was king of Lyoness, and sometimes considered a vassal of King Mark. The exploits of his youth are recorded in his own romance, Meliadus, which forms part of the Palamedes and Rustichello's Compilation. His first wife, Tristan's mother Isabelle, was Mark's sister, and his second wife was a daughter or sister of Hoel of Brittany.
Meliodas was the second king of Lyonesse according to the late Italian romance Il dui Tristani. He was the son of Felec and married Isabelle, daughter of King Meirchion of Cornwall.
