  Huon of Bordeaux
Huon of Bordeaux is the title character of a 13th century French romance (chanson de geste).
The godfather of Huon may safely be identified with Seguin, who was count of Bordeaux under Louis the Pious in 839, and died fighting against the Normans six years later.
The tale was dramatized and produced in Paris by the Confrérie de la Passion in 1557, and in Philip Henslowe[?]'s diary there is a note of a performance of a play, Hewen of Burdocize, on December 28, 1593.

Huon approached, and knelt before the Emperor, rendered him homage, and cried him mercy for the involuntary killing of his son.
