Parcenet

Parcenet is a little known character in the Arthurian Legends. She appears in Howard Pyle's The Story of King Arthur and His Knights. She is a maid of Queen Ettare's who Pelleas and Gawain fall in love with by enchantment. In other stories, however, it is not by enchantment and Gawain betrays Pelleas. Parcenet accompanies Sir Pelleas on his travels. When Queen Ettarre throws him out of her kingdom, Parcenet brings him a cloak, as he is in nothing but his undergarments.
