Le Bon Chevalier Bayard - Renaissance Knight
Sir Edward:
Wikipedia page about Pierre Terrail LeVieux, seigneur de Bayard
Chevalier de Bayard
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevalier_Bayard
He had a pretty impressive career as a knight, and had a reputation for being above reproach, and being the epitome of chivalry. His life was later in the period, after knights were largely becoming minor nobles rather than warriors, but he was a knight and a warrior. He's often regarded as the last true knight, before the modern world started to take over.
And on one occasion, he reportedly defended a bridge against 200 Spaniards single-handedly.
(EDIT: Altered title to be more informative, as per Sir Joshua's other thread)
Sir William:
So did Cuchulainn! :)
Of course, not sure if he's historical or fantastical but I do plan to read about this seigneur de Bayard; funny tidbit, I'd always planned on naming my first horse Bayard, after the legendary steed of Renaud de Montalban, Paladin of Charlemagne!
Sir Patrick:
Impressive! Reminds me of the Marshal.
Sir William:
He does, he really does.
Joshua Santana:
An awesome Chivalric Knight! Amazing story! Thank you Sir Edward for sharing!
