HERMIT
- Hermit King
A title applied to King Pelles.
- Hermit King
Hermit Uncle
Perceval’s uncle whose name was Elyas Anais. Perceval came across his forest cloister after having failed to ask the Grail Question during his first visit to the Fisher King’s castle. The Hermit King gave Perceval additional information about the Grail and the Grail keepers. The character first appears in Chrétien de Troyes’s Perceval, though he has no name or designation.
In Perlesvaus, he is given the proper name of King Pelles; Wolfram von Eschenbach names him Trevrizent; and the Fourth Continuation of Chrétien’s Perceval calls him Elyas Anaïs. There is some confusion as to whether he is Perceval’s maternal uncle (and therefore the brother of the Fisher King) or his paternal uncle (the brother of Alain the Large).
- Hermit of the Hedge
Hermit of the Thicket
A knight-turned-hermit who lived in the Hedged Manor, near the castle Dolorous Guard and the Dolorous Prison. He gave lodging to Lancelot and Gawain when they came to liberate the Dolorous buildings, and he administered the Extreme Unction to two of Arthur’s knights—Loholt and Galegantin—when they were sick in the Dolorous Prison.
- Hermit's Cross
The home of Gais the Large, Perceval's grandfather.
