===Vulgate Cycle=== * [[Lancelot]] is briefly called by this name (along that of the [[Black Knight (Arthurian legend)|Black Knight]]) in the Vulgate ''Lancelot'' during his battles against [[Galehaut]]'s forces.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eI5_Bxx8dg8C&pg=PR10 | title=Lancelot of the Lake | date=22 January 2024 | publisher=Oxford University Press | isbn=978-0-19-283793-6 }}</ref> * In the Vulgate ''Suite de Merlin'', two enemies of Arthur's are the lords of the castle Estremores, '''Roalais''' and '''Sir Belias of Estremores''', who both called the '''Red Knights of Estremores'''.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4f2AAAAAQBAJ&pg=PA174|title=The Arthurian Name Dictionary|last=Bruce|first=Christopher W.|date=21 August 2013|publisher=Routledge|isbn=9781136755378|language=en}}</ref> * In the ''Livre d'Artus'', the Red Knight is a heathen prince named '''Oriols''' (Oriolz), son of Saxon king Aminaduc (a nephew of [[Hengist]]) and the unnamed Queen of Denmark (Danemarche). He dwells with his mother and others (including a trio of cannibal giants) in the cursed castle (later known as the [[Castle of Maidens]]) where they work to conquer [[Logres]], until they are overthrown by [[Gawain]] and [[Sagramore]] and flee. He also appears in the Vulgate ''Merlin'' (and in its English adaptation ''[[Of Arthour and of Merlin]]'') under variants of this name (Oriel, Oriens, Oriol, Oriolt, etc.), but not as the Red Knight. It is possible that he is related to the legend of [[Ogier the Dane]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yaERAQAAMAAJ|title = The King Arthur Companion: The Legendary World of Camelot and the Round Table as Revealed by the Tales Themselves|isbn = 9780835936989|last1 = Karr|first1 = Phyllis Ann|year = 1983| publisher=Reston [Publishing Company] }}</ref>
