## What happens

The author dedicates the history of a champion to six gallant champions, acknowledging debts to them collectively and individually.

## Key lines

> To six most gallant champions is dedicated this history of a champion: less to repay than to acknowledge large debts to each of them, collectively at outset, as hereafter seriatim.

This book about a champion is dedicated to six brave champions, not to pay them back but to recognize what I owe them, first as a group and then one by one.
