The Knight of Riddles: The Hero of the White Shield (Scottish Folklore)

Link to Ridere of Riddles [ Link to The Riddle [~dash/] In the early years of the 6th century, Scotland was yet to be and the land was split between 4 great powers. Dal Riata, Kingdom of the Gaels in the west, Fortriu the Pictish kingdom in the north east. Alt Clut, home to the Britons of the south west and finally the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Bernicia in the south. These kingdoms would eventually unite to form Alba, which we now know as Scotland. There are some who would say Scotland and the kings of Alba would not exist if it were not for the knight of Riddles.
