Lot, consul of Londonesia, and afterwards king of Norway. He was brother of Urian and Augusel, and married Anne (own sister of king Arthur), by whom he had two sons, Walgan and Modred.—Geoffrey: British History, viii. 21; ix. 9, 10 (1142).

N.B.—This account differs so widely from that of Arthurian romance, that it is not possible to reconcile them. In the History of Prince Arthur, Lot king of Orkney marries Margawse the “sister of king Arthur” (pt. i. 2). Tennyson, in his Gareth and Lynette, says that Lot’s wife was Bellicent. Again, the sons of Lot are called, in the History, Gawain, Aravain, Gaheris, and Gareth; Mordred is their half-brother, being the son of king Arthur and the same mother.—Malory:

History of Prince Arthur, i. 2, 35, 36 (1470).

Lot, king of Orkney. According to the Morte d’Arthur, king Lot’s wife was Margawse or Morgawse, sister of king Arthur, and their sons were sir Gawain, sir Agravain, sir Gaheris, and sir Gareth.—Sir T. Malory: History of Prince Arthur, i. 36 (1470).

Once or twice Elaine is called the wife of Lot, but this is a mistake. Elaine was Arthur’s sister by the same mother, and was the wife of sir Nentres of Carlot. Mordred was the son of Morgawse by her brother Arthur, and consequently Gawain, Agravain, Gaheris, and Gareth were his half-brothers.

Lot, king of Orkney. According to Tennyson, ki ng Lot’s wife was Bellicent, daughter of Gorloïs lord of Tintagel Castle, in Cornwall, and Lot was the father of Gawain and Modred. This account differs entirely from the History of Prince Arthur, by sir T. Malory. There the wife of Lot is called Margawse or Morgawse (Arthur’s sister). Geoffrey of Monmouth, on the other hand, calls her Anne (Arthur’s sister). The sons of Lot, according to the History, were Gawain, Agravain, Gaheris, and Gareth; Modred or Mordred being the offspring of Morgawse and Arthur. This ignoble birth the History assigns as the reason of Mordred’s hatred to king Arthur, his adulterous father and uncle. Lot was subdued by king Arthur, fighting on behalf of Leodogran or Leodogrance king of Cameliard. (See Tennyson: Coming of Arthur.)

Lots Wife, Wâhela, who was confederate with the men of Sodom, and gave them notice when any stranger came to lodge in the house. Her sign was smoke by day and fire by night. Lot’s wife was turned into a pillar of salt.—Jallaloddin: Al Zamakh.
