King Gale of Narnia

King Gale of Narnia

King Gale is a fictional character from the children's fantasy series The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis. He was a King of Narnia and was the first Emperor of the Lone Islands. Gale was ninth in descent from King Frank, and therefore presumably the tenthking of Narnia. It was under King Gale that the Lone Islands became part of the lands of Narnia.Gale sailed to the Lone Islands and there slew a dragon. Thepeople of the Lone Islands gave their country to him in gratitude.

All that is known about King Gale is from a single sentence in chapter eight in"The Last Battle".

Apparently nothing was known about King Gale's achievements during the reigns of King Peter and his siblings nor during the reign of Caspian X. A conversation in "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" reveals that neither Caspian nor King Edmund knew how the Lone Islands came to be under the crown of Narnia. The narrator writes that he does not know either, but if he finds out and it is interesting then perhaps he will write the story. C.S. Lewis never wrote that story. Years later in "The Last Battle" the story has apparently been rediscovered.
