But as we suppose, but if it were Sir Tristram, or Sir Launcelot, or Sir Lamorak, the good knight, there is none that might sit him a buffet with a spear.

Well, said Morgan le Fay, I shall meet that knight or it be long time, an he dwell in that country.
So turn we to the damosel of the castle, that when Alisander le Orphelin had forjousted the four knights, she called him to her, and said thus: Sir knight, wilt thou for my sake joust and fight with a knight, for my sake, of this country, that is and hath been long time an evil neighbour to me?
His name is Malgrin, and he will not suffer me to be married in no manner wise for all that I can do, or any knight for my sake.
Damosel, said Alisander, an he come whiles I am here I will fight with him, and my poor body for your sake I will jeopard.

And therewithal she sent for him, for he was at her commandment.

And when either had a sight of other, they made them ready for to joust, and they came together eagerly, and Malgrin brised his spear upon Alisander, and Alisander smote him again so hard that he bare him quite from his saddle to the earth.

But this Malgrin arose lightly, and dressed his shield and drew his sword, and bade him alight, saying: Though thou have the better of me on horseback, thou shalt find that I shall endure like a knight on foot.
