Guy of Warwick is a legendary English romantic hero popular in England and France from the 13th to the 17th century.
The principal legend is that Guy falls for the lady Felice who is of much higher social standing. In order to wed Felice he must prove his valour and become a Knight, in order to do this he travels widely battling fantastic monsters such as Dragons, Giants and Great Boars. He returns and weds Felice but soon, full of remorse for his violent past, he leaves on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, later he returns and lives out his long life as a hermit (according to local legend in a cave overlooking the River Avon).
