SEXUAL ABUSE OF ETTARDE

Stalking by Pelleas

»Thomas Malory reworked the Post-Vulgate story in the first book of his seminal compilation Le Morte d'Arthur. There, Gawain leaves the maiden—who in this version is called Ettarde—after the incident with the sword. Nimue, one of the Ladies of the Lake, comes upon Pelleas, hears his story, and falls in love with him herself. She takes vengeance on Ettarde by magic, enchanting her to fall in love with Pelleas as deeply as he loved her. Pelleas, whose love has turned to hate, spurns Ettarde, and she dies of sorrow. Nimue and Pelleas fall in love and marry. « (Extract from: Wikipedia)
