'''Prince Claudin''' (''Claudine'', ''Claudyne'', ''Claudino'') is the son of the [[Franks|Frankish]] King [[Claudas]] of the Wasteland (''de la Deserte'') who appears in the ''[[Lancelot-Grail]]'' prose cycle, the [[Prose Tristan|Prose ''Tristan'']], the [[Post-Vulgate Cycle]], and ''[[Le Morte d'Arthur]]''. His father, who he fights for, is a major villain during [[King Arthur]]'s early reign. However, when Claudas eventually loses the war and flees to Rome, Claudin surrenders and defects to Arthur, who makes him a member of the [[Round Table]]. During the [[Grail Quest]], Claudin is one of the companions of [[Bors the Younger]], [[Galahad]] and [[Perceval]] in [[Corbenic]].
