Sir Scudamore Character Analysis

Sir Scudamore is a brave knight who falls in love with Amoretta when he sees her in the temple of Venus while obtaining the shield of love, and he ends up being the protagonist for much of Book IIII. When Amoretta is captured by the evil man Busirane, Scudamore is distraught and devotes himself to searching for her. Though he fights at first with the fellow knights Arthegall and Britomart, he eventually comes to see them as allies, and Britomart is the one who ultimately frees Amoretta from her imprisonment at the hands of Busirane.
