Sir Elise
In Book 2 of Malory's le Morte
following the adventure of Alisander and the pretty Pilgrim, the haut
knight Galahaut, ruler of Surluse, requests permission from Arthur to
hold a joust of eight days. On the fifth day, Sir Palomides starts out
the morning conquering all comers. Malory states that a worshipful duke
and uncle of Arthur is smote down and follows up with a statement 'Then
Sir Elise's son rode unto Palomides, and Palomides served Elise in the
same wise', which would seem to indicate that the duke's name was Elise
and that both he and his son, similarly named are defeated. This is the
only entry for these two knights as far as I can tell. |
