==Bio Info== '''Titles:''' Lord Glozelle, General Glozelle (Disney/Walden film character title) '''Age:''' Unknown '''Species:''' Son of Adam, Telmarine '''Home:''' Miraz's castle '''Physical Description:''' A big man '''Tools:''' A dagger '''First Appearance:''' ''Prince Caspian'' Ch. 13 (1951) ==Appearances== ===~ Prince Caspian ~ (1951)=== [[File:3786.jpg|left]]Glozelle has just finished eating with [[Sopespian]] when he looks up and sees [[Edmund Pevensie|Edmund]], [[Glenstorm]], and [[Wimbleweather]] coming toward them out of the wood. At first glance they believe it is an attack, but when they see the green branches the party is carrying, they realize it is a parley. Looking into [[Edmund Pevensie|Edmund]]'s kingly face, Glozelle and [[Sopespian]] determine he has come not to surrender, but to bring a challenge. They are surprised by this because the Telmarine army is clearly in a superior position. But Glozelle believes that they can use this to their advantage and takes [[Sopespian]] aside to suggest that they might be able to get [[Miraz]] to accept the challenge. If [[Miraz]] wins, then the war would be over, but if he loses, the Telmarine army can still win the war — and Glozelle and [[Sopespian]] could then rule Narnia. When [[Miraz]] calls them into his tent to ask for advice on the challenge, the two lords cleverly imply that he should refuse it because he is too old and cowardly. This throws [[Miraz]] into a rage, goading him to accept the challenge, and he stomps out of the tent after insulting them. Glozelle and [[Sopespian]] are pleased with his response to their manipulation. During the duel, [[Miraz]] falls on his face, but before he can rise Glozelle and [[Sopespian]] rush into the ring, shouting "Treachery" against the Narnians. This starts the Battle of Beruna, and as he enters the fray Glozelle pauses to stab and kill [[Miraz]] for his insults. ==About Glozelle== Glozelle is a clever and scheming courtier whose first loyalty is to himself. He has no compunctions about manipulating King [[Miraz]] for his own ends. It is clear that [[Miraz]] would never have accepted [[Peter Pevensie|Peter]]'s challenge had not Glozelle concocted the plan to profit by [[Miraz]]'s possible death in battle. Little did Glozelle know that his selfish plans would work in the Narnians' favor. Interestingly, Glozelle is not mentioned again in the story after he kills [[Miraz]]. It would seem that he dies in the battle, but Lewis does not make that clear. ==Quotes== *"He that is walking between the Centaur and the Giant has no look of surrender in his face. Who can he be? It is not the boy [[Caspian]]." (PC, Ch. 13) *"For though I have never been called a coward, I must plainly say that to meet that young man in battle is more than my heart would serve me for. And if (as is likely) his brother, the High King, is more dangerous than he—why, on your life, my Lord King, have nothing to do with him." (PC, Ch. 13) *"No man of your Majesty's age would be called coward by any wise soldier for refusing the combat with a great warrior in the flower of his youth." (PC, Ch. 13) ==Portrayals== *[[File:WDGlozelle.jpg|left]]Pierfrancesco Favino: Disney/Walden ''Prince Caspian'', 2008 Born: 24 August 1971 *Frank Lazarus (voice): Focus on the Family Radio Theater, 1999 – 2002 *[[File:BBCGlozelle.jpg|left]]Joe McGann: BBC TV series, 1988 – 1990 *Roger May (voice): BBC Radio Tales of Narnia
