When

Sir

Bors

and

the

other

knights

of

Lancelot

’

s

party

heard

the

fierce

words

of

Sir

Gawain

,

they

were

passing

wroth

,

and

prayed

to

ride

forth

and

be

avenged

on

him

,

for

they

were

weary

of

so

long

waiting

to

no

good

.

And

in

the

end

Sir

Lancelot

,

with

a

heavy

heart

,

consented

.

So

on

the

morrow

the

hosts

on

either

side

met

in

the

field

,

and

there

was

a

great

battle

.

And

Sir

Gawain

prayed

his

knights

chiefly

to

set

upon

Sir

Lancelot

;

but

Sir

Lancelot

commanded

his

company

to

forbear

King

Arthur

and

Sir

Gawain

.

So

the

two

armies

jousted

together

right

fiercely

,

and

Sir

Gawain

proffered

to

encounter

with

Sir

Lionel

,

and

overthrew

him

.

But

Sir

Bors

,

and

Sir

Blamor

,

and

Sir

Palomedes

,

who

were

on

Sir

Lancelot

’

s

side

,

did

great

feats

of

arms

,

and

overthrew

many

of

King

Arthur

’

s

knights

.

Then

the

king

came

forth

against

Sir

Lancelot

,

but

Sir

Lancelot

forbore

him

and

would

not

strike

again

.

At

that

Sir

Bors

rode

up

against

the

king

and

smote

him

down

.

But

Sir

Lancelot

cried

,

“

Touch

him

not

on

pain

of

thy

head

,

”

and

going

to

King

Arthur

he

alighted

and

gave

him

his

own

horse

,

saying

,

“

My

lord

,

I

pray

thee

forbear

this

strife

,

for

it

can

bring

to

neither

of

us

any

honour

.

”

And

when

King

Arthur

looked

on

him

the

tears

came

to

his

eyes

as

he

thought

of

his

noble

courtesy

,

and

he

said

within

himself

,

“

Alas

!

that

ever

this

war

began

.

”

But

on

the

morrow

Sir

Gawain

led

forth

the

army

again

,

and

Sir

Bors

commanded

on

Sir

Lancelot

’

s

side

.

And

they

two

struck

together

so

fiercely

that

both

fell

to

the

ground

sorely

wounded

;

and

all

the

day

they

fought

till

night

fell

,

and

many

were

slain

on

both

sides

,

yet

in

the

end

neither

gained

the

victory

.

But

by

now

the

fame

of

this

fierce

war

spread

through

all

Christendom

,

and

when

the

Pope

heard

thereof

he

sent

a

Bull

,

and

charged

King

Arthur

to

make

peace

with

Lancelot

,

and

receive

back

Queen

Guinevere

;

and

for

the

offence

imputed

to

her

absolution

should

be

given

by

the

Pope

.

Thereto

would

King

Arthur

straightway

have

obeyed

,

but

Sir

Gawain

ever

urged

him

to

refuse

.

When

Sir

Lancelot

heard

thereof

,

he

wrote

thus

to

the

king

:

“

It

was

never

in

my

thought

,

lord

,

to

withhold

thy

queen

from

thee

;

but

since

she

was

condemned

for

my

sake

to

death

,

I

deemed

it

but

a

just

and

knightly

part

to

rescue

her

therefrom

;

wherefore

I

recommend

me

to

your

grace

,

and

within

eight

days

will

I

come

to

thee

and

bring

the

queen

in

safety

.
