BELAKANE. Arthurian
legend name. In
the 12th century German epic Parzival, by Wolfram von
Eschenbach, this is the name of Percival's
stepmother, an African queen, meaning "pelican," a symbol for
Christ in the
Middle Ages. (Stein-Groves)
... In his
journeyings he came to Patelamunt, in the land of the Moors, where the
queen, Belakane, was beset by enemies. Then Gamuret came to
her aid, and defeated her enemies; the queen wedded him, and he became
king of Assagog and Zassamank. But after a time he waxed weary,
since there was no fighting to be done, and he also thought it ill that
his wife should be a heathen, so he sailed away secretly, leaving a letter
which told of his rank and lineage. After his departure Belakane
gave birth to a son, who was black and white even as his parents came of
differing races, and she called her son's name Feirefis Angevin. (Weston)
