BORRE
Bohart le Cure Hardy, Bohort, Loholt, Loholz, Amyr?
Arthur's son by his pre-Guenevere leman, Lyzianor (Lionors, Lisanor), Sir Borre became "a good knight" and a companion of the Round Table. Borre is probably identical with "Sir Bohart le Cure Hardy that was King Arthur's son", listed by Malory in XIX, 11. (Another knight with the surname "le Cure [Coeur] Hardy" - "the strong heart" - was Sir Ozanna, who seems to have been no relation to Borre.)
That Borre should be identified with Loholt, or Loholz, who appears in the Vulgate and is mentioned at least once by Chrétien de Troyes, is reasonably evident from the similarity of the mother's name in each instance.
