Aenotherus

Aenotherus was the bodyguard of Emperor Charlemagne in French medieval folklore. In his "Annals of Bavaria", the historian Johannes Aventinus wrote that a Ænotherus was so large that he threw down whole battalions like mowing grass. The huge warrior was from Turgan, near the Lake of Constance.
