But Sir Agravaine and Sir Mordred promised him to rescue him.

Therewithal came that knight straight unto them, and anon he proffered to joust.

That saw Sir Mordred and rode to him, but he struck Mordred over his horse's tail.

That saw Sir Agravaine, and straight he rode toward that knight, and right so as he served Mordred so he served Agravaine, and said to them: Sirs, wit ye well both that I am Breuse Saunce Pite, that hath done this to you.

And yet he rode over Agravaine five or six times.
