Laurence

Medieval English troubadour from "The Troubadour" story of anthology comic book Adventures in Wonderland #5 (February 1956). He plays the lute so well, and sings such "beautiful ballards [sic]", that his fame spreads, and the Lord Chancellor wants him come play two days before Christmas.

Laurence goes and plays, but promises his mother and siblings he'll be home for Christmas. The Lord Chancellor promises him riches if he'll stay and play on Christmas Day, but Laurence leaves. Then, on his way home, this happens two more times. First at a duke's and then an unnamed, random king's. The king even knights him, but Laurence still leaves, and is home to sing Christmas carols to his family.
