Geraint'
(g hard). Tributary Prince of Devon, and one of the
knights of the Round Table. Overhearing part of E'nid's words, he
fancied she was faithless to him, and treated her for a time very
harshly; but Enid nursed him so carefully when he was wounded that he
saw his error, “nor did he doubt her more, but rested in her fealty,
till be crowned a happy life with a fair death.” (Tennyson: Idylls of the King; Enid.)
