A giant from Africa who, in Thomas’s Tristan, conquered dozens of kings and stole their beards. With the beards, he fashioned a robe, but had a single open space. He demanded King Arthur’s beard. Arthur was suitably enraged and, after a long battle, defeated Orguillus.
Orguillus’s nephew later made a similar demand of the king of Spain, but was defeated by Sir Tristan.
Orguillus’s role is served by Rions or Ritho (Rhitta) in other tales.
