How
Sir Lancelot jousted against
four
knights of the Round Table,
and
overthrew them.
From
Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur
Published
1485
So Sir Lancelot rode into a deep forest, and there by
in a slade he saw four knights hoving under an oak, and they were of Arthur's
court; one was
Sagramour le Desirous, and Sir Ector de Maris, and Sir
Gawaine, and Sir Uwaine. Anon as these four knights had espied Sir Lancelot
they wend by
his arms it had been Sir Kay. Now by my faith, said
Sir Sagramour, I will prove Sir Kay's might, and gat his spear in his hand, and
came toward Sir
Lancelot.
Therewith Sir Lancelot was ware, and knew him well,
and fewtred his spear against him, and smote Sir Sagramour so sore that horse
and man fell both to the earth. Lo, my fellows, said Sir Ector, yonder ye may
see what a buffet he hath; that knight is much bigger than ever was Sir Kay.
Now shall ye see what I may do to him. So Sir Ector gat his spear in his hand
and galloped toward Sir Lancelot, and Sir Lancelot smote him through the shield
and shoulder that horse and man went to the earth, and ever his spear held. By
my faith, said Sir Uwaine, yonder is a strong knight, and I am sure he hath
slain Sir Kay; and I see by his great
strength it will be hard to match him. And therewithal
Sir Uwaine gat his spear in his hand and rode toward Sir Lancelot, and Sir
Lancelot knew him well, and so he met him on the plain and gave him such a
buffet that he was astonished, that long he wist not where he was.
Now see I well, said Sir Gawaine, I must encounter
with that knight. Then he dressed his shield and gat a good spear in his hand,
and Sir Lancelot knew him well, and then they let run their horses with all
their mights, and either knight smote other in midst of the shield. But Sir
Gawaine's spear to brast, and Sir Lancelot charged so sore upon him that his
horse reversed up so down.
And much sorrow had Sir Gawaine to avoid his horse,
and so Sir Lancelot passed on a pace, and smiled, and said, God give him joy
that this spear
made, for there came never a better in my hand.
Then the four knights went each one to other, and
comforted each other. What say ye by this gest?
said Sir Gawaine, that one spear hath felled us four.
We command him unto the devil, they said all, for he is a man of great might.
Ye may well say
it, said Sir Gawaine, that he is a man of might, for I
dare lay my head it is Sir Lancelot, I know it by his riding. Let him go, said
Sir Gawaine, for when we come to the court then shall we wit. And then had they
much sorrow to get their horses again.
