In the 11th century Matter of France, Ganelon (US: /ˌɡænəˈloʊn/,[1] French: [ɡan(ə)lɔ̃])[needs Old French IPA] is the knight who betrayed Charlemagne's army to the Saracens, leading to the 778 Battle of Roncevaux Pass. His name is said to derive from the Italian word inganno, meaning fraud or deception.[2] He is based upon the historical Wenilo, the archbishop of Sens who betrayed King Charles the Bald in 858.[3]
