Ferragut
Ferragut (also known as Ferragus, Ferracutus, Ferracute, Ferrakut, Ferraguto, Ferraù, Fernagu) was a character—a Saracen paladin, sometimes depicted as a giant—in texts dealing with the Matter of France, including the ''Historia Caroli Magni'', and Italian epics, such as ''Orlando Innamorato'' by Matteo Maria Boiardo and ''Orlando Furioso'' by Ludovico Ariosto. In the tales, he was portrayed as physically invulnerable except at his navel/stomach, and was eventually killed (or fated to be killed) by the paladin Roland. Name "Ferracutus" was the Latin form of the name used in the ''Pseudo-Turpin Chronicle''. Thomas Bulfinch used "Ferragus" in his English adaptation ''Legends of Charlemagne'', but the form "Ferragut" appears to be the most frequent in English today. In his ''Orlando innamorato'', Matteo Maria Boiardo used Feraguto/Feragu (Ferraguto/Ferragu). Ferraù is a syncopated form used in ''Orlando furioso'' by Ludovico Ariosto.
