Amadis de Gaula

Amadis de Gaula was son of a King and a princess. Called also Amadis sin Tiempo (Amadis without Time) by his mother (in allusion to the fact that being conceived outside marriage she would have to abandon him and he would probably die) is the most representative hero of the Cavalier novel genre, and it was the primary inspiration for Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's Don Quixote.
