Kay and Bedivere both appear in Geoffrey of Monmouth's "Historia Regum Britanniae", and support Arthur in his defeat of the Giant of Mont Saint-Michel. Geoffrey makes Kay the count of Anjou and Arthur's steward, an office which he holds in most later literature. In Chrétien de Troyes's "Erec and Enide", a son Gronosis is mentioned, who is versed in evil. By contrast, the Welsh attribute to him a son and daughter named Garanwyn and Celemon. Romance literature rarely deals with Kay's love life, with one exception being Girart d'Amiens' "Escanor", which details his love for Andrivete of Northumbria, whom he must defend from her uncle's political machinations before they can marry.
