Sir Beves of Hamtoun is a medieval metrical romance, originally composed in Middle English. This 1838 edition, translated by the Scottish poet William Stewart Rose, tells the story of the eponymous hero, a knight who travels to the Middle East to fight against Saracen armies and rescue his lady love, Josian. Along the way, Sir Beves battles monsters, navigates treacherous political alliances, and ultimately triumphs over his enemies.
