The knights of the Round Table are familiar to all of us, but not every hero of the time belonged to that society. Five such independents - Albert, Galvin, Hadwin, Leland, and Sheldon - each performed a feat of daring during one particulary busy April, each one rescuing a different damsel (one was the urbane Ulrica) from a different villain. Can you determine the damsel each knight rescued, the town in which the rescue occurred, and who the villain was?
- Albert bested the evil magician, while Hadwin came to the rescue of the nubile Norma.
- The gracious Goldie was in peril in Glastonbury, while the black knight held his captive in a tower in Almesbury.
- The damsel riding the naughty runaway unicorn was saved in Winchester.
- Neither the impudent Ida nor the damsel threatened by the cruel giant was in Caerleon.
- Leland's foe had two legs, not four.
- The five rescues occurred in this order: first Galvin's noble deed, followed by the rescue in Caerleon, the rescue of the elegant Elma, the slaying of the white, four-legged dragon, and finally the rescue in Bamborough.
