4. Ganelon, the traitor, count of Mayence. Placed by Dantê in the Inferno.
5. Maugris, in Italian Malagigi, cousin to Rinaldo, and son of Beuves of Aygremont. He was brought up by Oriande the fairy, and became a great enchanter.
6. Namo or Nayme de Bavière.
7. Ogier, the Dane, thought to be Holger, the hero of Denmark, but some affirm that “Dane” is a corruption of Damné; so called because he was not baptized.
8. Oliver, son of Regnier, comte de Gennes, the rival of Roland in all feats of arms.
9. Otuel, a Saracen, nephew to Ferragus or Ferracute. He was converted, and married a daughter of King Charlemagne.
10. Rinaldo, son of Duke Aymon, and cousin to Roland. Angelica fell in love with him, but he requited not her affection.
11. Roland, called Orlando in Italian, comte de Cenouta. He was Charlemagne’s nephew, his mother being Berthe, the king’s sister, and his father Millon.
12. One of the following names, all of which are called paladins, and probably supplied vacancies caused by death:--Basin de Genevois, Geoffrey de Frises, Guerin, duc de Lorraine, Guillaume de l’Estoc, Guy de Bourgogne, Hoël comte de Nantes, Lambert, prince of Bruxelles, Richard, duc de Normandy, Riol du Mans, Samson, duc de Bourgogne, and Thiery.
⁂ There is considerable resemblance between the twelve selected paladins and the twelve selected Table knights. In each case there were three pre-eminent for bravery: Oliver, Roland and Rinaldo (paladins); Launcelot, Tristram, and Lamoracke (Table knights). In each case was a Saracen: Ferumbras (the paladin); Palomides (the Table knight). In each was a traitor: Ganelon (the paladin); Mordred (the Table Knight), like Judas Iscariot in the apostolic twelve.
