King Cradelmant of Norgales was brother of
King Belinant of Sugales. He became one of the rebel kings who fought
against Arthur at the beginning of his reign. He brought 5,000 men to the
Battle of Bedegraine but, like his allies, had to abandon their cause to
repel Saxon invasions on his land. He was later reconciled with Arthur
and fought triumphantly by his side against the Saxons at the Battle of
Clarence. He further assisted the great king against the forces of Imperial
Rome; and then against King Ryons - an
alliance of mutual benefit as he was a fellow, yet troublesome, North
Welsh ruler. Sir Agravaine fell in
love with Cradelmant's daughter. His character is probably based on that of King
Cadwallon of Gwynedd who lived in the late 5th century.
