Uwaine

Le Morte d'Arthur

Uwaine is identified in the book’s index as King Uriens’ son and as a knight of the Round Table. The evidence also calls him Uwaine le Blanchemains and records several episodes in his chivalric career, including a period of suspicion at court, a fight with Sir Marhaus, and a feat against thirty knights.

Identity and Family

The index names Uriens as Uwaine’s father and identifies Uriens as Arthur’s brother-in-law. It separately records Uwaine as King Uriens’ son, placing him within the royal family by descent and within Arthur’s courtly world through his father’s kinship with the king.

Place at Arthur’s Court

Uwaine is listed among the knights of the Round Table. The book also records that he was suspected and sent from court. The brief index entry does not specify the reason for the suspicion, who imposed the departure, or how long he remained away; it establishes a break in his courtly standing without supplying its resolution.

Chivalric Episodes

The index associates Uwaine with an encounter against Sir Marhaus and, in a separate entry, with striking thirty knights. These references present him both in individual combat and in a larger feat of arms. The available evidence does not describe the circumstances of either episode or name the consequences, so their significance rests on their place in the record of his adventures rather than on a fuller narrated account.

Narrative Record

Uwaine’s evidence is dispersed between brief index notices and mentions in the narrative. In a list of King Uriens’ sons, his name appears alongside the other brothers; the index then traces selected appearances through courtly suspicion and martial action. This compressed record establishes his lineage, Round Table status, and reputation as a fighter, while leaving much of his personal trajectory unstated.
