Savari of Ruiste Valee


An Irish robber baron who owned the castle of Ruiste Valee.

He desired a maiden named Flor Desiree, who was the daughter of Savari’s neighbor, the viscount of Pavengay. Savari intended to carry her off and keep her as a concubine, but the viscount convinced Lancelot, who was passing through, to defend her. Lancelot challenged Savari and killed him.
