Galafré
CalaferA cruel pagan king who inhabited the land of King Mordrains.
Galafré resisted conversion to Christianity. When Mordrains disappeared, Galafré accused Nascien of murdering him, and he imprisoned Nascien and Nascien’s young son, Celidoine. When God delivered Nascien from the prison, Galafré tried to kill Celidoine by hurling him from a tower. God’s hands broke Celidoine’s fall, and a lightning bolt swiftly incinerated Galafré and his castle.
Galafré is a name common to non-Christian warriors in medieval sources.
