Sir Ywain





Greetings fellow Arthurian, I am pleased you have come to gaze upon the Knight of the Lion. My title as Knight of the Lion was bestowed upon me following my heroic deed of saving a lion from a serpent (sometimes said to be a dragon), who then becomes my loyal companion and a symbol of knightly virtue. This noble beast aided me on multiple adventures. Helping me defeat both the giant Harpin, and three fierce knights. Therefore, I am often portrayed in the company of a lion, or have a lion emblem on my shield.
