The Lady of the Lake

Several women, who are often blurred in the legends, all carry this title. Some names include Viviane, Eviene, Viviene, Nimue, and Nina.

In Malory she is the woman who gives Arthur Excalibur and later takes it back when it is thrown into the water.

In some works she is responsible for raising Lancelot, and sometimes curing his madness. She is also Merlin's downfall in Malory, the Vulgate Cycle and other various forms of the legend.

She enchants Merlin with the magic he taught her. In Malory, she is killed in Arthur's court by Balin, but later reappears, which leads to the speculation that the Lady of the Lake is a sort of title.
