第52章 BOOK IV(15)

Then Sir Marhaus departed,and within two days his damosel brought him whereas was a great tournament that the Lady de Vawse had cried.And who that did best should have a rich circlet of gold worth a thousand besants.And there Sir Marhaus did so nobly that he was renowned,and had sometime down forty knights,and so the circlet of gold was rewarded him.Then he departed from them with great worship;and so within seven nights his damosel brought him to an earl's place,his name was the Earl Fergus,that after was Sir Tristram's knight;and this earl was but a young man,and late come into his lands,and there was a giant fast by him that hight Taulurd,and he had another brother in Cornwall that hight Taulas,that Sir Tristram slew when he was out of his mind.So this earl made his complaint unto Sir Marhaus,that there was a giant by him that destroyed all his lands,and how he durst nowhere ride nor go for him.Sir,said the knight,whether useth he to fight on horseback or on foot?

Nay,said the earl,there may no horse bear him.Well,said Sir Marhaus,then will I fight with him on foot;so on the morn Sir Marhaus prayed the earl that one of his men might bring him whereas the giant was;and so he was,for he saw him sit under a tree of holly,and many clubs of iron and gisarms about him.So this knight dressed him to the giant,putting his shield afore him,and the giant took an iron club in his hand,and at the first stroke he clave Sir Marhaus'shield in two pieces.And there he was in great peril,for the giant was a wily fighter,but at last Sir Marhaus smote off his right arm above the elbow.

Then the giant fled and the knight after him,and so he drove him into a water,but the giant was so high that he might not wade after him.And then Sir Marhaus made the Earl Fergus'man to fetch him stones,and with those stones the knight gave the giant many sore knocks,till at the last he made him fall down into the water,and so was he there dead.Then Sir Marhaus went unto the giant's castle,and there he delivered twenty-four ladies and twelve knights out of the giant's prison,and there he had great riches without number,so that the days of his life he was never poor man.Then he returned to the Earl Fergus,the which thanked him greatly,and would have given him half his lands,but he would none take.So Sir Marhaus dwelled with the earl nigh half a year,for he was sore bruised with the giant,and at the last he took his leave.And as he rode by the way,he met with Sir Gawaine and Sir Uwaine,and so by adventure he met with four knights of Arthur's court,the first was Sir Sagramore le Desirous,Sir Osanna,Sir Dodinas le Savage,and Sir Felot of Listinoise;and there Sir Marhaus with one spear smote down these four knights,and hurt them sore.So he departed to meet at his day aforeset.

CHAPTER XXVI

How Sir Uwaine rode with the damosel of sixty year of age,and how he gat the prize at tourneying.

NOW turn we unto Sir Uwaine,that rode westward with his damosel of three score winter of age,and she brought him thereas was a tournament nigh the march of Wales.And at that tournament Sir Uwaine smote down thirty knights,therefore was given him the prize,and that was a gerfalcon,and a white steed trapped with cloth of gold.So then Sir Uwaine did many strange adventures by the means of the old damosel,and so she brought him to a lady that was called the Lady of the Rock,the which was much courteous.So there were in the country two knights that were brethren,and they were called two perilous knights,the one knight hight Sir Edward of the Red Castle,and the other Sir Hue of the Red Castle;and these two brethren had disherited the Lady of the Rock of a barony of lands by their extortion.And as this knight was lodged with this lady she made her complaint to him of these two knights.

Madam,said Sir Uwaine,they are to blame,for they do against the high order of knighthood,and the oath that they made;and if it like you I will speak with them,because I am a knight of King Arthur's,and I will entreat them with fairness;and if they will not,I shall do battle with them,and in the defence of your right.Gramercy said the lady,and thereas I may not acquit you,God shall.So on the morn the two knights were sent for,that they should come thither to speak with the Lady of the Rock,and wit ye well they failed not,for they came with an hundred horse.
