 While later literature almost always named Leodegrance as Guinevere's father, her mother was usually unmentioned, although she was sometimes said to be dead; this is the case in the Middle English romance "The Awntyrs off Arthure" ("The Adventures of Arthur"), in which the ghost of Guinevere's mother appears to her daughter and Gawain in Inglewood Forest.Some works name cousins of note, though these do not usually appear more than once; one of them is Guiomar, Morgan le Fay's early lover in the French romances.The earliest datable mention of Guinevere (as Guanhumara, with numerous spelling variations in the surviving manuscripts) is in Geoffrey's "Historia", written c. 1136.
