Atlantes
Atlantes was a powerful sorcerer who feared that Rugiero would convert to Christianity and aid Charlemagne against the Saracens. To prevent this, he constructed a magic garden ringed by glass on Mt. Carena in the Atlas Mountains. Atlantes' magical castle was filled with illusions, in order to divert Ruggiero from what he had foretold as certain doom. Ruggiero was later set free by Bradamante and after numerous trials and quests sired a great line of heroes. He later died betrayed fulfilling the destiny foretold by Atlantes.
Ruggiero
Ruggiero is a legendary hero who appears in the Italian romantic epics Orlando Innamorato by Matteo Maria Boiardo and Orlando Furioso by Ludovico Ariosto. He is the ancestor of Boiardo and Ariosto's patrons, the Este family of Ferrara, and plays a major role in the two poems. Ruggiero is a skilled warrior and a loyal friend. He is also a bit of a romantic, and he falls in love with Bradamante, a beautiful princess. Ruggiero's adventures take him all over the world, and he faces many challenges along the way. But he always comes out on top, and he eventually wins Bradamante's heart. Ruggiero is a classic example of the chivalrous knight, and he is a beloved figure in Italian literature.
Rodomonte
Rodomonte, the King of Sarza and Algiers, was a fierce warrior who led the Saracen army against Charlemagne in Paris. He was in love with Doralice, Princess of Granada, but she eloped with his rival Mandricardo. In his rage, Rodomonte tried to seduce Isabella, but she tricked him into killing her by mistake. In remorse, he built a bridge in her memory and forced all who crossed it to pay tribute.
When the "naked and mad" Orlando arrived at the bridge, it was Rodomonte who threw him into the river below. They both swam ashore, but Orlando who was naked and is unimpeded by heavy armor gets to the shore first.
Finally, Rodomonte appeared at the wedding of Bradamante and Ruggiero and accused Ruggiero of treason for converting to Christianity and abandoning the Saracen cause. The two fought a duel and Rodomonte was killed.
Rodomonte's prowess was matched only by his arrogance and boasting. His name is the source of the expression rodomontade, meaning "boastful, bragging talk".
