*Spoiler* Fatch death in the Bellmaker. He died protecting his mate, fulfilling a promise he made. Fatch was one of my favourite characters, so that was pretty sad. Still, it certainly was heroic, IMO. Also Felldoh's death in Martin the Warrior, he died while giving Badrang a taste of his own medicine!


those two deaths were also notably heroic.  felldoh's want for vengeance disturbed me a bit though...
Trying to stop me reading Redwall is like trying to separate Sabretache from his sabre.  Basically, don't try.

Butty Woppscut went down fighting to the last throwing his snapped rapier back at the enemy.  heroic.
Yes. And while we're on the subject of Rakkety Tam, I think young Dauncy's death would count, as well, even if it was primarily his own fault.

n terms of epicness okay, described pretty epicly.  in terms of actually heroicness....lacking. he didn't take down any vermin...or he didn't save any friends...

And let's not forget Colonel Clary and Brigadier Thyme, who went into the battle to free the galley slaves knowing there was little to no chance that they would survive.
Living in peace, aye many a season,
Calm in life and sound in reason,,
'Til evil arrives, a wicked horde,
Driving a warrior to pick up his sword,
The challenger rings then, straight and fair,
Justice is with us, beware. Beware!

Oh, yes, that was truly epic. :D

Regarding Dauncey, that he was in the patrol at all works for me. Kind of like the military - the "they're all heroes" idea thingy. =D

If you look at it that way yes he died heroically.

I find the most heroic deaths are the ones that go unmentioned, hardly noticed. The ones who fight in battles, dying with honor. Some of which we know not their names. But they are there. Fighting to the last, as brave as any hero.
I agree. In a lot of the books it is mentioned that many long patrol, guosim, etc. die in the battle, but you rarely know the names of them all. A lot of the time you only know the names of the funny youngsters and the outstanding officers. It reminds me of real history when you hear things like "10 million Allied troops and 6 million Axis troops were killed in WWII". Now I know it would be extremely difficult (and very impractical) to name them all, but they still deserve some recognition.


God Bless AMERICA! ( Britain and all other countries who suffered WWII as well. )

Luke the Warrior, hands down.
"cowards die a thousand times, a warrior only dies once. The spirits of all you have slain are watching you, Vilu Daskar, and they will rest in peace now that your time has come. You must die as you have lived, a coward to the last!"

Sheesh I get chills up my spine every time I think about that scene and I've read that book so many times.

Luke the warrior really is one of the top heroic deaths.

Yes, oh my goodness, yes. And that was a truly fantastic line. Luke was an amazing warrior.

Trying to stop me read the Redwall Series is like telling a Hare that he's on rations for a whole season.

Don't forget the squirrel that helped them! He had been a selfish, nasty creature all his life until then. At least one of the group to challenge the searats survived.

I'd forgotten about Clary and Thyme, I cried my eyes out over them! Felldoh's death really upset me, as did Finbarr Galedeep's (I just re-read the Bellmaker and hoinestly, I'd forgotten that he died :(). There are so many though and it's been a while since I've read a lot of the books, so I might have to come back and add some names later on.

Yes, Clary and Thyme... truly, truly heroic deaths.
