Dinasdaron

Dianazarun, Dinazarun, Disnadaron


One of Arthur’s courts.

Arthur stopped here for fifteen days after the Queen's return from Sorelois.

Chrétien de Troyes places it in Wales, while Wolfram von Eschenbach locates it in the country of Löver. It was the site of Sir Urjans’ rape of a maiden and Gawaine’s capture of Urjans.

It is probably a conflation of Dinas d’Aron, dinas being the Welsh word for 'castle'. Aron is either Aaron, the patron saint of Caerleon, or the river Arun in West Sussex.
