There is a Bohemian legend of "strong Ctibor," the shepherd of Riesenburg.  In the meadow, his master caught him carrying a huge tree on his shoulder.  When he was asked where he got it, he confessed that he had stolen it from the forest.  His master, pleased with his candor, not only forgave him, but told him to come to the fortress and he would give him as much food as he could carry.  Ctibor was so greedy that he took his wife's nineell feather-bed cover and went to the fortress, where they filled it with peas and ham.  The knight liked him on account of his strength and frankness, and when there was a tournament in Prague, he took him along.  Ctibor overcame a certain German knight whom no one else could conquer, and on that account was knighted by the king.
