Then Sir Launcelot was wrothy and smote Sir Bleoberis so sore upon the helm that his head bowed down backward.

And he smote eft another buffet, that he avoided his saddle; and so he rode by, and thrust forth to the thickest.

When the King of Northgalis saw Sir Ector and Bleoberis lie on the ground then was he wroth, for they came on his party against them of Surluse.

So the King of Northgalis ran to Sir Launcelot, and brake a spear upon him all to pieces.

Therewith Sir Launcelot overtook the King of Northgalis, and smote him such a buffet on the helm with his sword that he made him to avoid his horse; and anon the king was horsed again.
