==Medieval literature== In Thomas Malory's compilation ''Le Morte d'Arthur'', Accolon is referred to as Sir Accolon of Gaul. He is a paramour of, and object of desire for, Morgan le Fay, King Arthur's half-sister. As described in Accolon's original story in the Post-Vulgate Suite de Merlin that was Malory's source: "She loved him so madly that she desired to kill her husband [King Urien] and her brother [King Arthur], for she thought she could make Accolon king, either by the devil's help or by magic or by entreaty of the nobles of Great Britain." Malory describes them loving each other "out of measure" (oute of mesure), similar to how Palamedes loves Isolde or how Lancelot is beloved by women.
