SOUTHAMPTON SCREENS FILM ABOUT MEDIEVAL FOUNDER BEVOIS
Ms Jenssen used historical documents recounting storytellers' accounts
of Sir Bevois' adventures.
They include being sold to slave merchants by his mother, ending up in
the court of the king of Armenia (Ermin) and falling in love with a princess.
He reputedly returned to England to reclaim his father's land, and
founded the city of Southampton.
The story has been compiled in the following link. Has anyone come across it? I hadn't. There is an anomaly in the story, but never mind, it's interesting and could lead to further discoveries about the legend/history.
