Abstract

Abstract This article examines Nynive, the second Lady of the Lake, in Malory’s Morte Darthur. It reads her in a hybrid context, arguing that her hybridity allows her to occupy a unique position within the Morte. This position goes beyond her roles in the Vulgate and situates her as a defender of Arthur’s court and a dispenser of justice within it. In turn, understanding Nynive’s hybridity allows us to understand how she finds and claims power in the Morte through assisting the court, upholding it from a positionality that is unique to her.
