NIGHTBRINGER | The Arthurian Encyclopedia

Aladuke

Aliduc, Alyduke

A knight in Arthur’s service who was killed during the Roman War.

Geoffrey of Monmouth calls him the Baron of Tintagil while the Alliterative Morte Arthure names him as a knight from Turrey who served under King Cador of Cornwall.

Malory confusingly seems to place him on the Romans’ side, although he also names him as one of the knights rescued from the giant Tericam’s (Turquine) prison by Lancelot.
