Ganelon of the chansons de geste

By scholarly consensus, Wenilo is the historical basis for the character of the traitor Ganelon (Guenelon) in the late 11th-century Chanson de Roland.[20] The earliest use of the name "Ganelon" as a synonym for "traitor" dates from the mid-13th century.[20] Wenilo's auxiliary bishop from 847 to 849, Audradus Modicus, also morphed in to the villain Hardré or Adradus.[21]
