Morien, the Moorish son of Aglovale, one of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table; fathered while Aglovale travelled Moorish lands in search of Lancelot, and fell in love. Pledging to complete his quest seeking Lancelot, he left before Morien was born.
Morien grew into a strong and capable warrior. It is said of Morien that his "blows were so mighty; did a spear fly towards him, to harm him, it troubled him no whit, but he smote it in twain as if it were a reed; naught might endure before him." Of his dress, it says that his "shield and his armour were … black as a raven."
In the end father and son are reunited, and Aglovale travels back to the land of the Moors to marry his lover and win back her rightful lands.
