Minor Characters

The following list of characters are those who appear in the Arthurian legends. Some are prominent figures like Uther Pendragon, Ambrosius Aurelianus, Vortigern, Lot and Mordred. Others are minor characters, yet notable for their roles in the legend.

Please note that I have moved Merlin to a new, separate page. Merlin now has a page of his own. I have expanded and revised many articles on Merlin.
