Arthur Rackham's (1867-1939) painting of Sir Tristram defeating Sir Palamedes, a Knight of the Round Table in the Arthurian legend. He was a Middle Eastern pagan who converted to Christianity later in his life, who's unrequited love for Iseult broughts him into frequent conflict with Tristan. Tristan spared him but forbade him to bear arms for a year or to pursue Iseult's love ever again. Palamedes engaged in a number of duels with Tristan that are usually postponed or end without a clear winner. They eventually reconcile, but share a love–hate relationship.
