The Baron du Bors was a Bretonnian noble who served with the Bretonnian army which tried to incorporate the Tilean town of Ravola into the domains of the Bretonnian king during the 15th century IC.[1a][2a]
During a banquet set up by the Prince of Miragliano in the city of Ravola,du Bors claimed that the Bretonnians were better knights than those of Tilea, and that therefore the Prince of Miragliano should have simply handed his city over to them without even fighting! This presumption infuriated the mercenary knight Etto the Fierce, the commander of a mercenary company called the Venators, so much that he challenged the Bretonnians to a joust later know as the Tournament of Ravola.[1a][2a]
With the subsequent victory of the Tileans in the tournament, the Bretonnian duke in charge of the invasion was forced to retreat, and since the tournament the Bretonnians have never against sought to expand into the lands of Tilea.[1a][2a]
