Hebes
Knight in Tristram's company who prevents the Queen of Ireland from murdering Tristram, attested in 1 source.
Sir Hebes is attested in Le Morte d'Arthur as a knight in Sir Tristram's company and later among the Round Table knights. His most dramatic appearance comes when he prevents the Queen of Ireland from murdering Tristram in his bath: "the queen gripped that sword in her hand fiercely, and with all her might she ran straight upon Tramtrist where he sat in his bain, and there she had rived him through had not Sir Hebes gotten her in his arms, and pulled the sword from her" (Le Morte d'Arthur, Book VIII, Ch. XI).
Hebes's association with Tristram is established in the tournament scene: "So after Sir Hebes held him with Sir Tristram" (Le Morte d'Arthur, Book VIII, Ch. X). He appears again among the catalogue of knights who attempt to heal Sir Urre: "Then came Sir Hebes, Sir Morganore, Sir Sentraile, Sir Suppinabilis, Sir Bellangere le Orgulous, that the good knight Sir Lamorak won in plain battle" (Le Morte d'Arthur, Book XIX, Ch. XI). The three citations place him as a loyal companion and a recognized member of the knightly company.
