- He knew what it was to be the forgotten son and brother.
- He knew what it was to fight lions, bears, and giants.
- He knew what it was like to be a successful general, beloved by the people, part of the royal family but also the sting of betrayal.
- He knew what it was to be celebrated. He knew what it was to be hunted.
- He knew the pain of loss, the death of his best friend and 3 o ...
