=Gua´rini= (_Philip_), the ’squire of Sir Hugo de Lacy.—Sir W. Scott, _The Betrothed_ (time, Henry II.). =Guari´nos= (_Admiral_), one of Charlemagne’s paladins, taken captive at Roncesvallês. He fell to the lot of Marlo´tês, a Moslem, who offered him his daughter in marriage, if he would become a disciple of the Arabian prophet. Guarinos refused, and was kept in a dungeon for seven years, when he was liberated, that he might take part in a joust. The admiral then stabbed the Moor to his heart, and, vaulting on his gray horse, Treb´ozond, escaped to France. =Gu´drun=, a lady married to Sigurd by the magical arts of her mother; and on the death of Sigurd to Atli, (_Attila_), whom she hated for his fierce cruelty, and murdered. She then cast herself into the sea, and the waves bore her to the castle of King Jonakun, who became her third husband.—_Edda_ of Sämund Sigfusson (1130). _Gudrun_, a model of heroic fortitude and pious resignation. She was the daughter of King Hettel (_Attila_), and the betrothed of Herwig, king of Heligoland, but was carried off by Harmuth, king of Norway, who killed Hettel. As she refused to marry Harmuth, he put her to all sorts of menial work. One day, Herwig appeared with an army, and having gained a decisive victory, married Gudrun, and at her intercession pardoned Harmuth the cause of her great misery.—_A North-Saxon Poem_ (thirteenth century). =Gud´yill= (_Old John_), butler to Lady Bellenden.—Sir W. Scott, _Old Mortality_ (time, Charles II.). =Guelph´o= (3 _syl._), son of Actius IV. Marquis d’Este and of Cunigunda (a German). Guelpho was the uncle of Rinaldo, and next in command to Godfrey. He led an army of 5000 men from Carynthia, in Germany, to the siege of Jerusalem, but most of them were cut off by the Persians. Guelpho was noted for his broad shoulders and ample chest.—Tasso, _Jerusalem Delivered_, iii. (1575). =Guen´dolen= (3 _syl._), a fairy whose mother was a human being. King Arthur fell in love with her, and she became the mother of Gyneth. When Arthur deserted the frail fair one, she offered him a parting cup; but as he took it in his hands, a drop of the liquor fell on his horse and burnt it so severely that it “lept twenty feet high,” ran mad, and died. Arthur dashed the cup on the ground, whereupon it set fire to the grass and consumed the fairy palace. As for Guendolen, she was never seen afterwards.—Sir W. Scott, _The Bridal of Triermain_, i. 2 (“Lyulph’s Tales,” 1813). =Guendolœ´na,= wife of Locrin (eldest son of Brute, whom he succeeded), and daughter of Cori´neus (3 _syl._). Being divorced, she retired to Cornwall, and collected an army, which marched against Locrin, who “was killed by the shot of an arrow.” Guendolœna now assumed the reins of government, and her first act was to throw Estrildis (her rival) and her daughter Sabre, into the Severn, which was called Sabri´na or Sabren from that day.—Geoffrey, _British History_, ii. 4, 5 (1142.)
