AGRIPPE
- Agrippe
Agrippes
King of Mabon Rock. He was besieged by a king named Vadalon, but Agrippe's daughter poisoned the water supply used by the besiegers, and they were forced to abandon the assault. In revenge, Vadalon imprisoned Agrippe's daughter in iron bands, from which she was eventually released by Sir Bors.
- Agrippe
Uncle of King Rions (Ryons), Arthur's enemy. He invaded the Waste Land, owned by Perceval's mother, and killed fourteen of the lady's sons. Aglovale, one of the surviving sons, raised an army of Arthur's knights, encountered Agrippe's forces, and finally killed Agrippe.
- Agrippe the Tall
Agrippa, Gryp
A count or earl whose lands bordered on those of King Hoel of Brittany. Agrippe waged war on Hoel, besieging the town of Alinge and wounding Kahedin, Hoel's son. On the verge of defeat, Hoel enlisted the aid of Tristan, who subsequently killed Agrippe's nephew, Alquin, and spurred Hoel's forces to victory. Agrippe was slain in the battle.
The same character is known as Albroino in the Italian La Tavola Ritonda.
