This week's Knight: Sir Marrok of Bedegraine. (Sometimes I like to research interesting legendary knights like this one.) He lived under the rule of Uther Pendragon. The area: Bedegraine, is now called Sherwood Forrest. In that area lived many beasts and robbers and help to rid the area from them was sent to Uther. Uther sent the young, untried Sir Marrok. He did complete his task like a lion, so Uther gave him the crouched lion as his coat of arms...When Uther died, Marroks toubles began. When he left for Camelot, he was told to marry the lady Irma, which he did. But the lady did not like the match, and was a soceresss. She made (a figure of a wolf) and a potion and gave it to Marrok to drink. At once he turned into a wolf. Marrok ecaped into the woods where he lived until he came to meet Sir Tristan of Lyonesse who was sent to kill the wolf. But Sir Tristen did not kill Sir Marrok as a wolf, when he found the wolf harmless, he could not do it. He told the wolf about a secret door that Merlin made, to enter the castle. When Marrok entered he saw a shrine with small statues of a wolf and an owl. he broke the figure of the wolf and he changed back into a man. But Irma had made another potion for him to drink, but (holding the owl in his hand) made Irma drink it, and she turned into an owl. She flew off and was never heard again. and Sir Marrok stayed a man and the (werewolf) never returned.
