Lamorak
Fictional character / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Sir Lamorak" redirects here. For the ferry named for the mythical character, see RFA Sir Lamorak (L3532).
Lamorak /ˈlæmərək/ (or Lamerak,[1] Lamorac(k), Lamorat, Lamerocke, and other spellings) is a Knight of the Round Table in Arthurian legend. Introduced in the Prose Tristan, Lamorak reappears in later works including the Post-Vulgate Cycle and Thomas Malory's compilation Le Morte d'Arthur. Malory refers to him as Arthur's third best knight, only inferior to Lancelot and Tristan, and the Prose Tristan names his as one of the top five,[2] but Lamorak was not exceptionally popular in the romance tradition, confined to the cyclical material and subordinate to more prominent characters.
