Family
Her youngest sister, Eleanor de Quenelles was a Grail Damsel. [1c]
History
With her father, she presided over the famous Tourney of Quenelles and many knights claimed a favour from her before the boughts began against the Wood Elves. So many knights in fact that by the time the last, Agravain rode up to her, she was running out of clothing! [1a]
Noting this, Agravain declined to ask for a favour but Melisande took out her stiletto from her remaining garter and cut a lock of her hair for him to tie to his helm. She then drew lots to decide the pairs of opponents. [1a]

She bestowed the following favours to jousting knights: [1b]
- The Garter. [1b]
- The Girdle. [1b]
- The Kirtle. [1b]
