Pinabelʹlo or Pinʹabel (in Orlando Furioso)

.

Son of Anselmo, King of Maganza. Marphiʹsa, having overthrown him, and taken the steed of his dame, Pinabello, at her instigation, decreed that nothing would wipe out the disgrace except a thousand dames and a thousand warriors unhorsed, and spoiled of their arms, steed, and vest. He was slain by Bradʹamant.
