==In ''[[MediEvil (series)|MediEvil]]''==

After [[Sir Daniel Fortesque]] defeats [[Lord Palethorn]] in [[1886]] [[London]], he and his love [[Princess Kiya]] decide to use the [[Professor Hamilton Kift|Professor]]'s [[Chrono-chair|time machine]] to travel through time. However, due to a malfunction, Sir Dan and the Princess are separated. Dan ends up in 1286 [[Gallowmere]], one day before the [[Battle of Gallowmere]].{{Bookref|Fates-Arrow}}

The [[fairies]] of the land enlist Dan in helping them preserve the timeline by having him fend off a [[Jabberwocky]] attack on the Castle and swapping places with his [[Captain Fortesque|still living self]] using a [[Body Swap Potion]].{{Bookref|Fates-Arrow}} This overrides the original timeline, where Gallowmere's Militia won by sheer luck, as well as all other realities where Zarok won; in this new reality, Dan's heroism before the battle inspires the King's Army enough to guarantee their victory.{{Siteref|MediEvil-Boards|21953|Q&A with Chris Sorrell|February 3, 2020}}

By swapping himself with his cowardly living counterpart, Sir Dan becomes trapped in a '''time loop''' where he will always travel back in time after defeating Lord Palethorn to sacrifice himself at the battle of Gallowmere.{{Siteref|MediEvil-Boards|21953|Q&A with Chris Sorrell|February 3, 2020}}
