The four Aymon sons are the main characters in the legendary medieval tale of the same name. The adventure begins when, following a quarrel, one of Duke Aymon’s sons kills the Emperor Charlemagne’s nephew, provoking the sovereign’s anger. The four brothers flee the court, riding the horse Bayard, the son of a dragon and a snake, renowned for his great strength. Olivier O. Olivier appropriates this popular legend with light-hearted humor.
