Bedivere

/ˈbɛdɪvɪər/ noun

Definition

A character from Arthurian legend; one of King Arthur's most loyal knights.

Etymology

From Middle English and Arthurian tradition, possibly from Old Welsh or Celtic sources. The etymology of the name itself is debated among scholars of Arthurian literature.

Kelly Says

Bedivere is famous for being one of the last knights standing with Arthur and for casting Excalibur back into the lake—he appears in Malory's 'Morte d'Arthur' and Tennyson's 'Idylls of the King,' making him one of the most enduring Arthurian figures!
