King Leondegrance (sometimes Leodegrance, or some other minor variation) was, in Arthurian legend, the father of Queen Guinevere. His kingdom was located somewhere in the south of England, although some sources place it in France.


Stories of his allegiance to Arthur vary. In one account, when the young King Arthur pulled Excalibur from the stone, Leondegrance was one of the few kings to swear loyalty to the new king; but in other accounts, he opposed him, and Arthur's marriage to Guinevere was an attempt to heal the rift.


In some stories, the Round Table was Leondegrance's dowry to Arthur (according to others, it was made by Merlin for Uther Pendragon.
