Bio:Sir Eglamour of Artois' tale truly began when he found his heart aflutter for the maiden Christabel, the heir of the Earl he served. The knight declared his intentions of love in the Earl's court, who was not amused by this. And so the Earl began to give a list of incredibly dangerous tasks he had to fulfill if he wished to be Christabel's suitor.
The first task was to venture into the far into the forests into the mystical otherworld and slay the prized stag of the Giant's collection. Sir Eglamour killed the fifty foot tall giant and slew the deer and returned with both of their heads.
The perturbed Earl sent Eglamour on a second task, to slay the Boar of Sidonia, a creature which killed all around it. In his quest to be able to be with his love, Eglamour traveled to Sidonia and fought the boar in a battle which lasted three days. The knight emerged victorious in yet another task.
A detour in his mission occurred due to the fact he impressed the King of Sidonia who was impressed by Eglamour's skills, and took him back to his castle. It was here Eglamour killed another giant who was trying to wed the Princess of Sidonia. The King offered Eglamour, who decided to call himself Sir Adventurous while there, the hand of his daughter in marriage alongside all of his titles and lands. Sir Adventurous declined these offers, but he did take their parting gifts of a magic ring and mystical horse.
Again he brought back the Earl the heads of the creatures he defeated for his tasks. Annoyed at this knight, both for succeeding in his task and impregnating Christabel with a son, the Earl of Artois sent him off on a third and final task. Sir Eglamour was sent off to kill the Dragon of Rome. In a bloody feat of carnage, Sir Eglamour killed the creature but at the expensive of rather grievous injuries to himself.
After recuperating for months, and finally finished with his tasks, he returned back to Artois where he finally married his true love.
