Enid [cf. W
enaid, life, soul]. Name borne both by a Welsh heroine and by her Arthurian counterpart. The Welsh Enid is the lover of
Geraint fab Erbin and a leading figure in
Geraint ac Enid [Geraint and Enid]. Geraint once finds Enid weeping because he prefers the luxury of home life instead of the challenges of knighthood, but he mistakenly thinks that she is weeping for an absent lover. Thus when he takes her with him on a sequence of adventures, he forbids her to speak with him, which prevents her from warning him of dangers. Later they are reconciled. Her father was
Yniwl Iarll.
Alfred Lord Tennyson adapted this story in
Geraint and Enid (1859). The most important Arthurian parallel is
Erec et Enide by Chrétien de Troyes (d. 1180); in French and Continental Arthuriana, her husband is
Erec. In the German of Hartmann von Aue (
c.1170–
c.1215) she is Enite. To call a woman a ‘second Enid’ in the age of chivalry was to bestow upon her the highest compliment.
