PERILOUS LAKE

Despite the name, I cannot find that Malory suggests this like to be magically dangerous. He puts it in the forest of Morris. Dozmary Pool, on a hilltop in Bodmir Moor, was long supposed to be bottomless, which would make it perilous.

The Perilous Lake is rather minor. Malory has nothing much happening here, except that Kay and Gaheris abide at it a while waiting for King Mark.
