WHAT DOES PELLES MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Fisher King

In Arthurian legend, the Fisher King, or the Wounded King, is the latest in a long line charged with keeping the Holy Grail. Versions of his story vary widely, but he is always wounded in the legs or groin and incapable of moving on his own. The location of the wound is of great importance to the legend. In most medieval stories, the mention of a wound in the groin or more commonly the "thigh" is a euphemism for the physical loss of or grave injury to one's "manhood". In medieval time, acknowledging the actual type of wound was considered to have robbed a man of his dignity; thus, the use of the substitute terms groin or thigh, although any good medieval listener or reader would have known exactly the real nature of the wound. Not surprisingly, such a wound was considered worse than actual death as it signaled the end of a man's ability to function in his primary purpose--the wielder of said part to propagate his line which then, in the instance of the Fisher King, negates his ability to honor his sacred charge with respect to the Grail.
