the ears, and others by the arms, and carried them up into the air;
and in the air there was a mighty tumult with the flapping of the
wings of the triumphant Ravens, and with their croaking; and there
was another mighty tumult with the groaning of the men, that were
being torn and wounded, and some of whom were slain.

And Arthur and Owain marvelled at the tumult as they played at chess;
and, looking, they perceived a knight upon a dun-coloured horse
coming towards them. And marvellous was the hue of the dun horse.
Bright red was his right shoulder, and from the top of his legs to
the centre of his hoof was bright yellow. Both the knight and his
horse were fully equipped with heavy foreign armour. The clothing of
the horse from the front opening upwards was of bright red sendal,
and from thence opening downwards was of bright yellow sendal. A
large gold-hilted one-edged sword had the youth upon his thigh, in a
scabbard of light blue, and tipped with Spanish laton. The belt of
the sword was of dark green leather with golden slides and a clasp of
ivory upon it, and a buckle of jet-black upon the clasp. A helmet of
gold was on the head of the knight, set with precious stones of great
virtue, and at the top of the helmet was the image of a flame-
coloured leopard with two ruby-red stones in its head, so that it was
astounding for a warrior, however stout his heart, to look at the
face of the leopard, much more at the face of the knight. He had in
his hand a blue-shafted lance, but from the haft to the point it was
stained crimson-red with the blood of the Ravens and their plumage.

The knight came to the place where Arthur and Owain were seated at
chess. And they perceived that he was harassed and vexed and weary
as he came towards them. And the youth saluted Arthur, and told him
that the Ravens of Owain were slaying his young men and attendants.
