Artegal
(Sir) (in Spenser's Faërie Queene), is the hero
of the fifth book, and impersonates Justice, the foster child of
Astræa. In the previous books he occasionally appears, and is called
Sir Arthegal. It is said that Arthur, Lord Grey of Wilton, was the
prototype of this character. He was sent to Ireland as Lord Lieutenant
in 1580, and the poet was his secretary. In book iv., canto 6, Sir
Artegal is married to Britomart, and proceeds to succour Irena
(Ireland), whose heritage had been withheld by the tyrant Grantorto. (See Arthegal.)
