Baradigan


A land ruled in Arthur’s time by Canaan.

Mentioned in Renaut de Bâgés Le Bel Inconnu, it may be the same as Chrétien de Troye’s Brandigan, although the rulers are different.

In the Second Continuation of Chrétien’s Perceval, the Lord of Baradigan kills a knight named Sir Caramadis to avenge the death of his cousin, Orguellous.
