词条 | Colbrand (giant) |
释义 |
Winchester tradition fixes the duel at Hyde Mead, before the Abbey near Winchester. Under the reign of Henry VIII, the royal household paid a wage of two-pence a day to provide a custodian for the sword used to slay Colbrand (specifically one William Hoggenson, a yeoman of the buttery).[3] William Shakespeare mentions Colbrand in both Henry VIII (Act V, scene iii) and King John (Act I, scene 1). Colbrand, as an appellation, had (by the 18th century) developed into a nickname for anyone of considerable size or strength, an example being the character of Colbrand the huge Swiss valet in Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded, an epistolary novel by Samuel Richardson, first published in 1740.[4] References1. ^Boundaries in medieval romance, Neil Cartlidge, DS Brewer, 2008, {{ISBN|1-84384-155-X}}, 9781843841555. pp. 29-42 {{Europe-myth-stub}}2. ^H.
