How King Arthur let do cry a jousts, and how Sir Lamorak.
came in, and overthrew Sir Gawaine and many other.
THEN within three days after the king let make a jousting at a priory.
And there made them ready many knights of the Round Table, for Sir Gawaine and his brethren made them ready to joust; but Tristram, Launcelot, nor Dinadan, would not joust, but suffered Sir Gawaine, for the love of King Arthur, with his brethren, to win the gree if they might.

Then on the morn they apparelled them to joust, Sir Gawaine and his four brethren, and did there great deeds of arms.

And Sir Ector de Maris did marvellously well, but Sir Gawaine passed all that fellowship; wherefore King Arthur and all the knights gave Sir Gawaine the honour at the beginning.
Right so King Arthur was ware of a knight and two squires, the which came out of a forest side, with a shield covered with leather, and then he came slyly and hurtled here and there, and anon with one spear he had smitten down two knights of the Round Table.

Then with his hurtling he lost the covering of his shield, then was the king and all other ware that he bare a red shield.
