Sir Robin Bravely is a knight from Avalon. He was briefly entrusted by Sir Drustan Silverharp to keep King Artorius’ Sword of Kings safe. Sir Robin went to the Wild and eventually sent the Sword away from the Weirwood to his loyal minstrel, Innes Idle. When the Wizard came and defeated the Winter Wyrm, Sir Robin followed them through and a Teleporter Arch back to Caliburn.

Sir Robin Bravely rode forth from Avalon
Not afraid to die was he, o Sir Robin Bravely
Not afraid to be torn apart by vicious little Froudlings
Not afraid to smashed to pulp by Handsome Fomori
Brave Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot is one of the four knights chosen by King Arthur to join him at the Round Table in Camelot in the movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, played by Eric Idle. Unlike many of the other knights in the movie, he is the only original knight written solely for this movie, and not from the King Arthur folklore in general. And his name is a misconception; although called “brave,” he would run away from fights, including from the Three-Headed Giant. It also didn’t help along his journey, his minstrels performed his supposed theme song.
Eric Idle (born March 29, 1943) is an English actor, comedian, musician and writer. Idle was a member of the British surreal comedy group Monty Python and the parody rock band The Rutles, and is the writer of the music and lyrics for the Broadway musical Spamalot (based on Monty Python and the Holy Grail).
Monty Python (also collectively known as the Pythons) was a British comedy troupe formed in 1969 and consisting of Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. The group came to prominence for creating and performing the sketch comedy series Monty Python’s Flying Circus (1969–1974). Their work then evolved from the series into a larger and more influential collection that included live shows, films, albums, books, and musicals; their influence on comedy has been compared to the Beatles’ influence on music. Regarded as an enduring icon of 1970s pop culture, their sketch show has been referred to as being “an important moment in the evolution of television comedy”.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a 1975 British comedy film satirizing the Arthurian legend, written and performed by the Monty Python comedy group (Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin) and directed by Gilliam and Jones in their feature directorial debuts. It was conceived during the hiatus between the third and fourth series of their BBC Television series Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
In MPatHG Eric Idle played Sir Robin the-not-quite-so-brave-as-Sir-Lancelot, Lancelot’s squire Concorde, Roger the Shrubber, and Brother Maynard, among other roles.
