Sir Dinadan

Companion of Tristan. Dinadan was a knight of the Round Table, often accompanying Tristan in his adventures in the kingdom of Logres (Britain).

In the time of chivalry where Arthurian knights sought out dangers regardless of risk, it was rather refreshing to see a knight who would prefer to avoid them. Dinadan often grumbled to his companion, why it was necessary to charge headlong into one danger after another, risking life and limb for a lady or damsel when they were heavily outnumbered. Dinadan could not see the benefits of always fighting battles. Don’t mistake this as Dinadan being a coward or a weak knight, for as Tristan’s companion and sidekick, Dinadan was better than the average warrior was.
