Urre

Sir Urre of the Mount is a Hungarian knight in Le Morte d'Arthur, attested across 14 citations in four chapters of Book XIX. His story centres on a miraculous healing that serves as a test of the Round Table's spiritual worthiness.

Urre is introduced as "a good knight in the land of Hungary" and "an adventurous knight" who seeks deeds of worship wherever they may be found (Le Morte d'Arthur, Book XIX, Chapter X). In Spain, he encounters Sir Alphegus, an earl's son, and slays him, but not before receiving seven great wounds: three on the head, four on the body and left hand. The dead knight's mother enchants the wounds so they will never heal until "the best knight of the world had searched his wounds" (Le Morte d'Arthur, Book XIX, Chapter X). His mother has a horse litter made, and together with his sister Felelolie, they travel through many countries seeking a healer.

At Arthur's court, the king has every knight of the Round Table attempt the healing. One hundred and ten knights search Urre's wounds by Arthur's command, and all fail (Le Morte d'Arthur, Book XIX, Chapter XI). When Launcelot arrives, Urre's sister recognises the moment: "Brother, here is come a knight that my heart giveth greatly unto." Urre responds with hope: "certainly I hope now to be healed, for my heart giveth unto him more than to all these that have searched me" (Le Morte d'Arthur, Book XIX, Chapter XII). Launcelot succeeds, and Arthur has Urre brought into Carlisle "with singing and loving to God" (Le Morte d'Arthur, Book XIX, Chapter XII).

After his healing, Urre is clothed in the richest manner and proves himself "passingly well made and bigly" (Le Morte d'Arthur, Book XIX, Chapter XII). He becomes devoted to Launcelot, and "this Sir Urre would never go from Sir Launcelot, but he and Sir Lavaine awaited evermore upon him" (Le Morte d'Arthur, Book XIX, Chapter XIII).
