The Damsel
Milun’s son is born in secret after Milun and the damsel have an affair. As an infant, he’s taken to Northumbria to be raised by his aunt, the damsel’s rich sister. When he grows up, he becomes a skilled knight himself and decides to go abroad to gain fame—after all, he’s told that his father Milun was a great knight, too. After competing in some tournaments in Brittany, he soon gains a reputation as “The Peerless One.” At a tournament at Mont St. Michel, he knocks an older knight off his horse, then learns that the old man is his father. Overjoyed at their reunion, the pair travels to Wales, where Milun’s son plans to kill the damsel’s husband so that she and Milun can marry at last. They quickly learn that the husband’s recent death makes this unnecessary, and soon Milun, the damsel, and their son are reunited.
