Behind the scenes
Development
MediEvil 2 was originally going to feature a descendant of Sir Daniel Fortesque as the main protagonist – Sir Henry Fortesque.[7]
Etymology
Fortesque is likely derived from the surname Fortescue (meaning "strong shield"). Fortescues trace their origins to Richard Le Fort who allegedly defended William the Conqueror with a shield at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.[8]
