Avarlan (in the French Mort Artu), known as an Irish knight named Pinel le Savage in Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur, and simply as an unnamed squire in the English Stanzaic Morte Arthur, attempts to poison Gawain using some poisoned fruit. Instead another knight named Gaheris of Carhaix in the Mort Artu, just called the Scottish knight in the Stanzaic Morte Arthur, and called Patrise by Malory, eats the fruit and dies.
