Sir Maleagant was a very small villain in the legend of King Arthur, however he was important because he was one of the first of Lancelot's quests, and of of his first parts in Arthurian history. He became less popular with the appearance of Mordrid, but appears in most accounts of the kidnapping of Guinevere. The story goes that he kidnaps Guinevere, but is found and killed by Lancelot, with the help of Gawain. He is based on a historical King of Glastening called Melwas, and was actually an origional Knight of the Round that nobody liked.
