Sir Bohort III was the son of Lord Bohort II of Cherrueix, and Lady Evaine. He has a twin brother called Sir Lionel, and he had an older sister, Léna, who died young.

Sir Bohort is a few mintues older than Sir Lionel

### Adulthood

Sir Lionel and Bohort moved to Léon as a young men, in order to become knights there. The twins rised the ranks quickly, and became known for they're loyalty to the kingdom.

At the age of twenty-one, like most Léon knights, both of the brothers joined in Uther's (son of Emporer Constantine III) conquest of the kingdom of Camelot. They were stationed below Sir Bors the Elder.

After the conquest Sir Bohort went back to Léon, unlike his brother who stayed in Camelot. He became a member of the Léon branch of the House of Gaunnes household, and started working with King Ganis Gaunnes, the head of house.

Through King Ganis he was introduced to Lady Berlewen. Not coming from a wealthy or well known noble family, bohort thought he had no chance with Berlewen, but she fell quickly for Bohort and they were soon married.

They only have one son together, Bohort Jeunnes IV.

### The War

King Ganis died at the age of seventy-five. Because of his death, his son, Ban, became king. When King Ban became king, King Glaudas ruler of Trégor, a kingdom in Armorica, delared war on him for Léon. Like most Léon knights, Sir Bohort took part in this war.

After many years of battles Sir Bors the Elder and Sir Lionel were called to Léon to help. Sir Bors the Elder asked King Uther for reinforcements for the war, and Uther promised that he would send them, a returing the favour that the Gaunnes family did decades ago.

King Uther did sent reinforcements and the kingdom of Léon won the war, gaining some of Bituria.

There was a great loss however, with Sir Bors the Elder, the kings son, Prince Lucant, and King Ban himself all lossing their lives on the battle fields.

A funeral was held in Léon, Sir Bohort, Sir Lionel, King Uther, Sir Bors the Younger, Squire Leon, Prince Arthur and many other Camelot nobles attended the funerals. They was also buried in Lesneven, their home town.

Due to Ban's only remaining heir being illegitimate, Bors the Younger became the king of Léon.

Sir Lionel stayed in Léon after the funerals, with the twins becoming closer again after many years of living away from each other. Both men became Sir Bors the Elders' advisers and couniclmen, but Sir Bohort keeps are more active knight role as well.

## In the Legends

Like many knights, Sir Bors the Younger took part in the Quest for the Holy Grail, with his brother Sir Lionel. At some point in Sir Lionel's journey he was captured by bandits. They stripped him naked, bound him hand and foot, and dragged him along the highway while thrashing him with thorns. Sir Bors came upon the scene while on his own Grail Quest, and was forced to choose between saving his brother or a young woman who was being attacked nearby. Because his oath as a knight demanded that he save a woman before a fellow knight, even if that knight was his brother, Bors chose to save the woman. Lionel ultimately survived the incident and managed to escape his captors badly injured, but he was filled with anger at his brother's failure to help him.
