Sir Dinadan is a Knight of the Round Table in Arthurian Legend . He is the son of Sir Brunor Senior, the 'Good Knight without Fear,' and brother of Sirs Brunor le Noir (' La Cote Mal Taillée ') and Daniel . A close friend of Tristan , Dinadan is known for his good humor and joking nature. Unlike most other knights in Arthurian romance, Dinadan prefers to avoid fights and considers Courtly Love a waste of time, though he is a brave fighter when he needs to be. In one notable exploit, he writes a slanderous ballad about King Mark and sends a troubador to play it at Mark's court. In another, he loses a Joust when Lancelot catches him off guard by wearing a dress over his armor; Lancelot then puts the dress on his unconscious opponent. Like Palamedes and Lamorak , Dinadan was an invention of the Prose Tristan , and appeared in later retellings including the Post-Vulgate Cycle and Sir Thomas Malory 's '' Le Morte D'Arthur ''. |
