In the story of Jack the Giant Killer, he kidnaps a sleeping Jack and takes him back to his castle, where he locks him in a cell. He leaves to invite his brother Rebecks to join him in eating Jack, but when the two enter the cell, Jack drops a noose down on both of them, immobilizing them while he slits their throats. Blunderbore is also sometimes named as the giant in the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. In the story of Tom the Tinkeard, Blunderbore knocks Tom off his property with an uprooted tree, but is eventually killed in the ensuing battle, leaving his vast fortune to Tom. Blunderbore is a giant of Cornish and English folklore. A number of folk and fairy tales include a giant named Blunderbore, most notably "Jack the Giant Killer". The stories usually associate him with the area of Penwith. Cornish folklore remembers Blunderbore as living in Ludgvan Lese (a manor in Ludgvan), where he terrorized travelers heading north to St Ives.In "Jack the Giant Killer" he is the second or third giant (along with his brother Rebecks) killed by the hero Jack. Under the influence of that story, the name "Blunderbore" is frequently appropriated by other legendary giants; the later fairy tale "Tom the Tinkeard", a local Cornish variant of "Tom Hickathrift", contains a similar account of the hero's battle with a giant named Blunderbore. Likewise, it is usually given as the name of the giant in "Jack and the Beanstalk".
