Sir Satyrane Character Analysis

Satyrane is a wandering noble knight who helps Una out of a forest when she is separated from the Redcross Knight. He fights Sansloy in Book I before later reappearing in Book III to help save the fair maiden Florimell from a fearsome hyena-like beast. His name, which is similar to “satyr” (a half-man half-goat), suggests his close association with nature and the forest.
