Inspired by the 13th-century chanson de geste: Les Prouesses et faitz du noble Huon de Bordeaux. This wallet tells the tale of Huon, knight of Bordeaux, cast out by the emperor Charlemagne, destined to rise through trials of courage, loyalty, and fate. After defending himself in a fatal duel with Charlot, son of Charlemagne, Huon is sentenced to an impossible mission in the distant land of Babylon to redeem honour. There, he must confront the powerful Emir Gaudys and complete a list of tasks: among them, kissing the Emir’s daughter Claramond, defeating her fiancé, and returning with the Emir’s beard and four teeth.

On his journey, Huon meets Oberon, the mysterious King of the Faes, deep in an enchanted forest. Though warned of his magic, Huon greets Oberon with honour and gains a powerful ally. Oberon gives him two enchanted objects: a goblet that refills endlessly and an ivory horn that can summon help in moments of peril.

Huon’s path is long and dangerous. He defeats the giant Angolafer, endures betrayal by his kin, and is imprisoned in Babylon. Claramond, brave and steadfast, becomes both an ally and a beloved, aiding his escape. In the end, Huon returns triumphant, pardoned by Charlemagne, and chosen by Oberon as heir to the faerie realm.

The tooling on this wallet follow Huon’s odyssey: his meeting with Oberon, the fierce duel with the giant, and the bond with Claramond that turns exile into destiny. Each detail echoes the soul of medieval epics: where trials shape heroes, and legends are proven through courage.
