To know more about Breus sans pitié, one might start from "French
Arthurian Prose Romances. An Index of Proper Names" by G.D. West,
University of Toronto Press, 1978, (a companion to "Index of Proper
Names in French Arthurian Verse Romances" 1150-1300), under Brehu.
The character appears in Guiron le Courtois, Galehaut, Le Livre Artus,
Palamidès, Vulgate Merlin, Prose Tristan, etc.
He also appears in some Italian translations and derivations of the
French Romances: see "Dal Roman de Palamedès ai cantari di
Febus-el-Forte," edited by A. Limentani.
