Sir Dodinel was called 'the Wild' because he liked to hunt game in the Forest and thus often lived in the Wilderness. He had a home in the Shrieking Marshes. He was the son of King Belinant of Sugales by his own niece, apparently the Lady of Malehaut; and his paternal uncle was King Cradelmant of Norgales. Dodinel fought with Arthur in the Saxon Wars and became a companion of Sirs Gawain and Yvain. He was with the latter when Sir Calogrenant captivated his audience with stories of the adventures to be had in the Broceliande Forest. King Arthur knighted Dodinel for his services and he became one of the Queen's Knights. He was amongst Guinevere's company when she was kidnapped by King Meleagant of Summerland and is also recorded as going a-Maying with her. When promoted to a Knight of Round
