第303章 BOOK XX(9)

How Sir Gawaine jousted and smote down Sir Lionel,and how Sir Launcelot horsed King Arthur THEN came forth Sir Gawaine from the king's host,and he came before and proffered to joust.And Sir Lionel was a fierce knight,and lightly he encountered with Sir Gawaine;and there Sir Gawaine smote Sir Lionel through out the body,that he dashed to the earth like as he had been dead;and then Sir Ector de Maris and other more bare him into the castle.Then there began a great stour,and much people was slain;and ever Sir Launcelot did what he might to save the people on King Arthur's party,for Sir Palomides,and Sir Bors,and Sir Safere,overthrew many knights,for they were deadly knights.And Sir Blamore de Ganis,and Sir Bleoberis de Ganis,with Sir Bellangere le Beuse,these six knights did much harm;and ever King Arthur was nigh about Sir Launcelot to have slain him,and Sir Launcelot suffered him,and would not strike again.So Sir Bors encountered with King Arthur,and there with a spear Sir Bors smote him down;and so he alighted and drew his sword,and said to Sir Launcelot:

Shall I make an end of this war?and that he meant to have slain King Arthur.Not so hardy,said Sir Launcelot,upon pain of thy head,that thou touch him no more,for I will never see that most noble king that made me knight neither slain ne shamed.And therewithal Sir Launcelot alighted off his horse and took up the king and horsed him again,and said thus:My lord Arthur,for God's love stint this strife,for ye get here no worship,and I would do mine utterance,but always I forbear you,and ye nor none of yours forbeareth me;my lord,remember what I have done in many places,and now I am evil rewarded.

Then when King Arthur was on horseback,he looked upon Sir Launcelot,and then the tears brast out of his eyen,thinking on the great courtesy that was in Sir Launcelot more than in any other man;and therewith the king rode his way,and might no longer behold him,and said:Alas,that ever this war began.And then either parties of the battles withdrew them to repose them,and buried the dead,and to the wounded men they laid soft salves;and thus they endured that night till on the morn.

And on the morn by underne they made them ready to do battle.And then Sir Bors led the forward.

So upon the morn there came Sir Gawaine as brim as any boar,with a great spear in his hand.And when Sir Bors saw him he thought to revenge his brother Sir Lionel of the despite that Sir Gawaine did him the other day.

And so they that knew either other feutred their spears,and with all their mights of their horses and themselves,they met together so felonously that either bare other through,and so they fell both to the earth;and then the battles joined,and there was much slaughter on both parties.

Then Sir Launcelot rescued Sir Bors,and sent him into the castle;but neither Sir Gawaine nor Sir Bors died not of their wounds,for they were all holpen.Then Sir Lavaine and Sir Urre prayed Sir Launcelot to do his pain,and fight as they had done;For we see ye forbear and spare,and that doth much harm;therefore we pray you spare not your enemies no more than they do you.Alas,said Sir Launcelot,I have no heart to fight against my lord Arthur,for ever meseemeth I do not as I ought to do.

My lord,said Sir Palomides,though ye spare them all this day they will never con you thank;and if they may get you at avail ye are but dead.So then Sir Launcelot understood that they said him truth;and then he strained himself more than he did aforehand,and because his nephew Sir Bors was sore wounded.And then within a little while,by evensong time,Sir Launcelot and his party better stood,for their horses went in blood past the fetlocks,there was so much people slain.And then for pity Sir Launcelot withheld his knights,and suffered King Arthur's party for to withdraw them aside.And then Sir Launcelot's party withdrew them into his castle,and either parties buried the dead,and put salve unto the wounded men.

So when Sir Gawaine was hurt,they on King Arthur's party were not so orgulous as they were toforehand to do battle.Of this war was noised through all Christendom,and at the last it was noised afore the Pope;and he considering the great goodness of King Arthur,and of Sir Launcelot,that was called the most noblest knights of the world,wherefore the Pope called unto him a noble clerk that at that time was there present;the French book saith,it was the Bishop of Rochester;and the Pope gave him bulls under lead unto King Arthur of England,charging him upon pain of interdicting of all England,that he take his queen Dame Guenever unto him again,and accord with Sir Launcelot.

CHAPTER XIV

How the Pope sent down his bulls to make peace,and how Sir Launcelot brought the queen to King Arthur SO when this Bishop was come to Carlisle he shewed the king these bulls.And when the king understood these bulls he nist what to do:full fain he would have been accorded with Sir Launcelot,but Sir Gawaine would not suffer him;but as for to have the queen,thereto he agreed.

But in nowise Sir Gawaine would not suffer the king to accord with Sir Launcelot;but as for the queen he consented.And then the Bishop had of the king his great seal,and his assurance as he was a true anointed king that Sir Launcelot should come safe,and go safe,and that the queen should not be spoken unto of the king,nor of none other,for no thing done afore time past;and of all these appointments the Bishop brought with him sure assurance and writing,to shew Sir Launcelot.

  • 民事错诉规制研究

    民事错诉规制研究

    从国内外总体情况来看,研究民事错诉的范围比较狭窄,研究的深度还严重不足,我国司法实务界对民事错诉认识的态度还相当保守。这表明了民事错诉的理论还不够成熟,尚需进一步加强和完善。在我国民法典的起草过程中,由王利明教授和梁慧星教授分别主持起草的“中国民法典侵权行为编草案建议稿”中,都曾将民事错诉行为列为侵权行为之一。遗憾的是,有关民事错诉的相关规定没有出现在正式公布的民法典中。这恐怕与民事错诉的研究不够彻底有一定关系。
