The Forty-two companions cover the names of King Arthur and his men, including Merlin, when they went disguised as mercenaries to serve under King Leodegan in the Vulgate Merlin. They are sometimes referred to as the Forty companions, not including Merlin or Arthur. To confuse matters, some texts omit or corrupt some names in this fellowship, so that the number of the companions is less in some texts. Indeed, in Sommer’s edition of the Vulgate Merlin, the 32nd name is missing, because it is missing in Sommer’s A manuscript. Other manuscripts include the missing name, in the various forms, as Sommer notes on page 56 in the 3rd volume of his edition of Le Morte Darthur. Sommer also notes two other manuscripts in which the name appears in his The Structure of Le livre d’Artus, and its Functio

  • The Forty-two companions cover the names of King Arthur and his men, including Merlin, when they went disguised as mercenaries to serve under King Leodegan in the Vulgate Merlin. They are sometimes referred to as the Forty companions, not including Merlin or Arthur. To confuse matters, some texts omit or corrupt some names in this fellowship, so that the number of the companions is less in some texts. Indeed, in Sommer’s edition of the Vulgate Merlin, the 32nd name is missing, because it is missing in Sommer’s A manuscript. Other manuscripts include the missing name, in the various forms, as Sommer notes on page 56 in the 3rd volume of his edition of Le Morte Darthur. Sommer also notes two other manuscripts in which the name appears in his The Structure of Le livre d’Artus, and its Function in the Evolution of the Arthurian Prose-romances, (pp. 13—14). The missing knight is Guivret of Lambale, a knight known elsewhere. Sommer notes this carefully in this last mentioned work on page 14: A omits the name of Guivret of Lambale, filling the 32nd place in B and the 31st in C because he left out the number 32 altogether in his list. In his translation, Rupert T. Pickens picks up on this error, but miscorrects it by changing the numbering as though the list ought to have contained 41 names, including Merlin.
