Elaine of Corbenic

Elaine of Corbenic, the daughter of King Pelles, appears in the supplied evidence chiefly through brief references in the book’s index. These establish her identity, connect her with Sir Launcelot during his madness, and record her death, but provide no account of her actions or the circumstances of her ending.

Identity and Family

The index distinguishes Elaine, King Pelles’s daughter, from other characters named Elaine, including the wives of King Ban and King Nentres and Elaine le Blank. This identification makes her a member of King Pelles’s family; the evidence supplied here gives no further detail about her life at Corbenic or her role in her father’s household.

Connection with Sir Launcelot

The index notes that Elaine saw Sir Launcelot while he was mad. This establishes that their stories intersect during his period of madness, but the entry does not describe their meeting, explain what Elaine witnessed, or say how the encounter affected either of them. It therefore supports a connection in the plot without establishing a fuller relationship.

Death and Limits of the Record

A later index entry records that Elaine is dead. No cause, date, or circumstances are supplied in the cited evidence, and the reference does not establish who was present or what consequences followed. Her documented trajectory here remains spare: named by her parentage, linked briefly to Sir Launcelot’s madness, and ultimately recorded as deceased.
