Coriantumr

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In The Book of Mormon, Coriantumr is one of the last Jaredites, as well as one of their kings.[1] The Book of Ether describes the collapse of the Jaredite people, ultimately resulting in Coriantumr and Shiz fighting one another, a fight that Coriantumr wins.[2] He seeks refuge among the Mulekites. He dies among them a short time before the first contact between the Mulekites and the Nephites.[3]

Coriantumr is also the name of a Nephite dissenter who the Lamanites king made leader over the Lamanite armies. Coriantumr led them into battle against the Nephites in approximately 50 B.C.[4]
