Gaheris, Sir

Gaheris, Sir,
in Malory , the fourth and youngest son of King Lot of Orkney and Arthur's sister Morgawse. He killed his mother when he found her in bed with Lamorak. He was accidentally killed by Launcelot, an event which led to the implacable hatred of his brother Gawain for Launcelot. Variant forms of his name are confusable with variants of Gareth (Gaheret) his brother, so the two may be archetypally identical.
