	Farmer Giles of Ham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Farmer Giles (or Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo) was not a hero.
		The Latin names and references imply that Giles is a Briton, a late generation remnant of the old empire after the decline of the western authority of the Romans.
		All the Giles place-names are supposed to occur relatively close to Oxford, along the Thames or on the route from London to Oxford.

		Farmer Giles (of the village known as Ham in the "vulgar tongue") lives a quiet life with his wife and dog, who possesses the power of speech.
		The irony is, when Giles (who came out of the trial almost as badly as the giant himself) is celebrated as a hero and reknowned in the village and beyond, the giant himself thinks that the hit of the primative gun was nought but the sting of a rather large insect.
		And so, Giles, who was the last person in the land to become a hero (very much like other Tolkien heros the likes of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins) must take out a dangerous (but delightfully polite) dragon whose fire and claws have ravaged the country for some time.
