Bradamante is the sister of Rinaldo, and one of the heroines of Orlando Furioso, Ludovico Ariosto's handling of the Charlemagne legends, also called the Matter of France.

Bradamante is one of the greatest female knights in literature. She is an expert fighter, and wields a magical lance that unhorses every one it touches. She later falls in love and marries the Moorish prince Ruggiero following his conversion to Christianity.
