Abinors was a Duke of the Scottish borderlands, as well as some of the islands, during the time of King Uther Pendragon.
He did not support Uther, and Abinors eventually died of grief, after Merlin abducted his daughter and imprisoned her on Turnance, or the Turning Island.
He first appeared in Le Livre d’Artus in the 13th century.
