Matthew

Matthew was a resident of Ealdor.

He held back rations from Kanan when the brigand raided Ealdor, and was given a week to make up the missing food. He refused to give up the additional food on Kanan's next visit, and was nearly killed before Arthur, Merlin, Morgana and Guinevere arrived.

He later trained with Arthur to fight against Kanan's brigands, but Arthur recognized Matthew's lack of fighting skill and reassigned him to organize sentry duty and watch for Kanan's arrival. Matthew was later killed while on patrol, and his horse returned his body to Ealdor, where Arthur found an arrow pinning a note to his back reading: "Make the most of this day. it will be your last."
