Sagramore

Sagramore, also known as Sagramor or Sagremor and many other variations of this name, is a ubiquitous knight of the Round Table in the Arthurian legend. He appears in nearly all of the Arthurian standalone and cyclical chivalric romances, including some in which he is the titular protagonist. Sagramore's characterisation varies from story to story, but generally he features as a virtuous but hot-tempered knight who fights fiercely and ragefully.

==Legend== The earliest appearances of Sagramor, as Sagremor le Desreé (the Unruly, the Fiery, the Impetous) is found in the 12th-century poems by Chrétien de Troyes (first in Erec et Enide). There, he is one of King Arthur's four greatest knights, as he typically remains is in many later verse works. Nevertheless, he is usually (ever since Erec) either defeated and captured upon rushing into combat first, requiring a rescue by the hero of the story, or else the hero defeats him a joust. Sometimes, he is also a victim of a "phantom adventure", being in need of a rescue (be it from a spell or from captivity) that is not actually narrated. In many verse romances, since Chrétien's Perceval, he is more or less associated with Kay. Besides his notorious rashness, other recurring motifs involve his quarrelsome nature and frequent hunger (the latter possibly connecting him to the Culhwch and Olwen character of the ever hungry and thirsty Atrwm the Tall as Sagramor's origin), all of which get him into troubles. In Parzival, he even has to be physically restrained as to stop him from attacking knights randomly.
