Morgause
Morgause or Margawse, wife of king Lot. Their four sons were Gawain, Agravain, Gaheris, and Gareth; but Morgause had another son by prince Arthur, named Mordred. Her son Gaheris, having caught his mother in adultery with sir Lamorake, cut off her head.
King Lot had wedded king Arthur’s sister, but king
Arthur had by her Mordred, therefore king Lot held against king
Arthur. Le
Morte d'Arthur By Sir Thomas Malory
And King Lot of Lothian and of Orkney then wedded Margawse
that was Gawaine’s mother, and King Nentres of the land of
Garlot wedded Elaine. All this was done at the request of King
Uther. And the third sister Morgan le Fay was put to school in a
nunnery, and there she learned so much that she was a great clerk
of necromancy. And after she was wedded to King Uriens of the
land of Gore, that was Sir Ewain’s le Blanchemain’s
father.
