you, said Sir Dinadan, that ye govern you so shamefully;
for I see by you ye are full of cowardice, and ye are a
murderer, and that is the greatest shame that a knight
may have; for never a knight being a murderer hath
worship, nor never shall have; for I saw but late through
my force ye would have slain Sir Berluse, a better knight
than ye, or ever ye shall be, and more of prowess. Thus
they rode forth talking till they came to a fair place,
where stood a knight, and prayed them to take their
lodging with him. So at the request of that knight they
reposed them there, and made them well at ease, and had
great cheer. For all errant-knights were welcome to him,
and specially all those of Arthur's court. Then Sir
Dinadan demanded his host what was the knight's name
that kept the bridge. For what cause ask you it? said
the host. For it is not long ago, said Sir Dinadan, sithen
he gave me a fall. Ah, fair knight, said his host, thereof
have ye no marvel, for he is a passing good knight, and
his name is Sir Tor, the son of Aries le Vaysher. Ah,
said Sir Dinadan, was that Sir Tor? for truly so ever me
thought.

Right as they stood thus talking together they saw
come riding to them over a plain six knights of the court
of King Arthur, well armed at all points. And there by
their shields Sir Dinadan knew them well. The first was
the good knight Sir Uwaine, the son of King Uriens, the
second was the noble knight Sir Brandiles, the third was
Ozana le Cure Hardy, the fourth was Uwaine les Aventurous,
the fifth was Sir Agravaine, the sixth Sir Mordred,
