Sir Bevis of (South) Hampton was a knight whose troubled childhood began when his cruel mother had his father killed and sold him to pirates, who took him to Armenia. There, he grew into a brave warrior and won the love of Princess Josian after slaying a dragon, and she gifted him a loyal horse named Arundel who would only carry him. Together with Josian and later a giant named Ascapart—who first helped them escape danger but ultimately betrayed Bevis and died in a failed attack—they travelled on many adventures before returning to England. Bevis later won a great horse race, using the prize to build a castle in Sussex named Arundel Castle after his faithful companion, who remained by his side into old age.
