Ganor of Galafort

Gaanor, Gaynor

The Duke of Galafort in the time of Joseph of Arimathea.

He was converted to Christianity by Celidoine, the son of Nascien, and he allowed his city to be used as the first Christian stronghold in Britain. By doing this, he broke faith with his overlord, the King of Northumberland, and was attacked. With the help of the Christian knights, he was victorious. He fought to liberate Joseph and his followers from King Crudel, who had imprisoned them.

He recommended Galahad, Joseph’s son, for the crown of Wales.
