Rodomonte

He is the King of Sarza and Algiers and the leader of the Saracen army which besieges Charlemagne in Paris.

In remorse, Rodomonte builds a bridge in her memory and forces all who cross it to pay tribute.

When the "naked and mad" Orlando arrives at the bridge, it is Rodomonte, the pagan, who throws him into the river below.

The King of Spain gave the appellative "Rodomonte" to Luigi Gonzaga for his extraordinary strength.

[3] Boiardo, in Book 2, Canto xiv, says Rodomonte is the son of Ulieno, and a descendant of the Biblical giant Nimrod, from whom he inherited his massive sword, which was too heavy for an ordinary man to lift.
