| rdfs:comment | - In the Matter of Britain, Sir Bedivere (/ˈbɛdᵻvɪər/ or /ˈbiːdᵻvɪər/; Welsh: Bedwyr; French: Bédoier, also spelt Bedevere) is the Knight of The Round Table of King Arthur who returns Excalibur to the Lady of the Lake. He serves as Arthur's marshal and is frequently associated with Sir Kay. Sir Lucan is his brother and Griflet is his cousin.
- Sir Bedivere was a Knight of Camelot killed by the Questing Beast, when he and Arthur ran back to save Merlin. He was not named until the moment before he was killed off screen (Le Morte d'Arthur).
- Member of the "Knights of Round". A serious girl who is able to get close to people whoever they are. She is referred as "Bedi" by Arthur. She is often tricked by Ywain as she believes in what others say easily. The driver she uses is the form-changing gun-blade type driver Bedwyr.
- Bedwyr is one of the earliest characters to be associated with the Arthurian cycle, appearing in a number of early Welsh texts in which he is described as Bedwyr Bedrydant (Bedwyr of the Perfect Sinews), a handsome, one-handed knight under Arthur's command. His father is given as Pedrawd or Bedrawd, and his children as Amhren and Eneuawg, both members of Arthur's court. Some scholars believe he had secret relations with another member of the Knights of the Round Table; Sir Gaheris. He was known to use dark magic to seduce and subdue his foes with great skill and aggression. He was feared by many and although the townspeople frequently asked for his hanging, King Arthur still held him in high regards.

- Bedwyr is one of the earliest characters to be associated with the Arthurian cycle, appearing in a number of early Welsh texts in which he is described as Bedwyr Bedrydant (Bedwyr of the Perfect Sinews), a handsome, one-handed knight under Arthur's command. His father is given as Pedrawd or Bedrawd, and his children as Amhren and Eneuawg, both members of Arthur's court.

He was known to use dark magic to seduce and subdue his foes with great skill and aggression. He was feared by many and although the townspeople frequently asked for his hanging, King Arthur still held him in high regards. One of the earliest direct references to Bedwyr can be found in the tenth century poem Pa Gur which recounts the exploits of a number of Arthur's knights, including Bedwyr, Cei and Manawydan. Of Bedwyr, the narrative says: They fell by the hundred before Bedwyr of the Perfect-Sinew. On the shores of Tryfrwyd fighting with Garwlwyd furious was his nature with sword and shield. A ninth-century version of The Stanzas of the Graves gives Bedwyr's final resting place on Tryfan hill. In the Life of St. Cadoc (c.1100) Bedwyr is alongside Arthur and Cai in dealing with King Gwynllyw of Gwynllwg's abduction of St. Gwladys from her father's court in Brycheiniog. A possible allusion to Bedwyr could be found in the reference to Bedwyr's well in the ninth century Marwnad Cadwallon ap Cadfan. The Welsh Triads name Bedwyr as "Battle-Diademed", and a superior to Drystan, Hueil mab Caw and even Cei. A catchphrase often quipped by Cei, "by the hand of my friend" is likely a reference to Bedwyr's disability.
