Lucan the Butler

Lucan was better known as Lucan the Butler (some sources said that Bedivere was the butler). Lucan was the wine-steward in Chretien de Troyes' Erec and Enide. Lucan was the brother of Bedivere the Cupbearer. Lucan was cousin to Girflet, son of Do (Doon) of Carduel.

In La Mort le Roi Artu (Vulgate Cycle), Lucan was one of the two surviving knights of King Arthur in the war against Mordred. However, Lucan died when the mortally wounded king crushed him in an embrace.
