Valdabrun

A Saracen nobleman and warrior. Valdabrun was a vassal to Marsile. Valdabrun seemed to be Marsile's admiral, since it said that he commanded a thousand galleys at sea. According to Chanson de Roland, Valdabrun captured Jerusalem through treachery, and robbed the Temple of Solomon.

At Saragossa, Valdabrun was among those who befriended Ganelon, Roland's treacherous stepfather. When Ganelon conspired with Marsile to bring down Roland and the Twelve Peers, Valdabrun gave a valuable sword to Ganelon, as well as 1000 gold mangons.

At Rencesvals, he brought down the paladin Samson, when he drove his pennon through the body, but Roland avenged his fellow paladin by cutting Valdabrun in half.

Gramimund was the name of Valdabrun's horse.
