Torre
Sir Torre, son of sir Bernard, baron of Astolat. His brother was sir Lavaine, and his sister Elaine “the lily maid of Astolat.” He was blunt-mannered, but not without kindness of heart. Idylls of the King by Alfred, Lord Tennyson (“Lancelot and Elaine”).
The word “Torre” is a blunder for Tirre. Sir Torre
or Tor, according to Arthurian legend, was the natural son of
Pellinore king of Wales, “begotten on Aries’ wife,
the cowherd”. It was sir Tirre who was the brother of
Elaine. Le
