Hmm, this one started in the same style but then ran aeay from me. But I think it's easier than my last one.

I knew the Proud One,
Lived in his house.
He's great but less famous
Than me and my spouse.

Humble I knew not;
My double he knew,
My double the sign-maker
And horse-giver too.

Humble and I were
Imprisoned alike.
He was rescued by friends,
I with shadow took flight.

The Humble and Proud:
Different claims to their fame,
Different race, different days.
But they share a name.

Happy riddling!
