Yvaine

aka 'Owain' (See Owain), 'Uwain', 'Knight of the Lion'. Son of 'Urien' (See Urien) and 'Morgan le Fay' (See Morgan le Fay). Cousin of 'Gawain' (See Gawain) who in many legends succeeds in persuading Owain to undertake many adventures, including rescuing a lion from a serpent, in so doing leaving his role as 'Guardian of the Magic Fountain', but securing a beast to aid him in his battles.

Widely popularised in the work of 'Chrétien de Troyes' (See Chrétien de Troyes) entitled 'Yvain', which follows the story of the 'Lady of the Fountain' (See Lady of the Fountain) in the 'Mabinogion' (See Mabinogion). It is thought that De Troyes developed the character of Owain and changes the name to 'Yvaine'. The Lady of the Fountain remained the Guardian of the Fountain by demanding that Owain replaced her husband, the 'Black Knight' (See Black Knight) who he had killed. Owain became her second husband.
