SAINT MICHAEL'S MOUNT, GIANT OF

One of the worst of the giants, and apparently one of the largest, he set around naked by his fire forcing three young damsels to turn twelve babies, broached like birds on a spit, above the fire. He killed Duke Howell's wife by raping her, slitting her to the navel, which may be an indication of his size.

Arthur, Kay, and Bedivere stopped to kill him and avenge the lady on their way to fight Emperor Lucius.

According to the Vulgate, this giant wore a swordproof serpent's skin.
