Anyway, I’ve seen some claims the Morgan le Fay was not just in Arthurian legend but also in the Carolingian cycle, do you know if that is true?

I am not immediately familiar with her being in the Matter of France, but she was a character who was repeatedly exported into other peoples' folktales as far away as southern italy &, I think, Romania, so it would not surprise me

doublechecked, yes, she's in the Matter of France as Ogier the Dane's girlfriend

Oh cool, thank you. Do you know where I could find like a list of folktales outside of Arthurian legend where she shows up?

I can't remember how in depth it goes on Morgan's extracurriculars specifically, but Lucy Allen Patton's Studies In The Fairy Mythologies of Arthurian Romance is a FANTASTIC resource for a deep dive on how Morgan & other fey-themed characters fit in
