Helior
Knight who wounded Sir Epinogris and abducted his lady, confronted by Sir Palomides, attested in 1 source.
Sir Helior is attested in Le Morte d'Arthur as the knight who wounded Sir Epinogris and abducted his lady. The episode, contained in Book X, Chapter LXXXIII, leads to Sir Palomides undertaking to recover the lady. Epinogris recounts how "Sir Helior wounded me so that he left me for dead, and so he took my lady with him" (Le Morte d'Arthur, Book X, Ch. LXXXIII).
Palomides promises to confront Helior: "sith I can never recover myself I shall promise you if I can meet with Sir Helior I shall get you your lady again, or else he shall beat me" (Le Morte d'Arthur, Book X, Ch. LXXXIII). A knight with a green shield pursues Helior, identified as "he that hurt Sir Epinogris," and "rode fiercely after Sir Helior" (Le Morte d'Arthur, Book X, Ch. LXXXIII). The confrontation is direct: "when he came nigh Sir Helior he bade him defend his lady" (Le Morte d'Arthur, Book X, Ch. LXXXIII).
