NIGHTBRINGER | The Arthurian Encyclopedia

Nautenis


The ruler of Hante in Gottfried’s Tristan.

He was an enemy of Duke Jovelin of Arundel, Tristan’s father-in-law. With other knights, he besieged Jovelin’s castle of Karke, but was defeated by Tristan.

He may be the same character as Eilhart’s Nampetenis.
