To
extricate
himself
from
the
stirrups
and
fallen
steed
,
was
to
the
Templar
scarce
the
work
of
a
moment
;
and
,
stung
with
madness
,
both
at
his
disgrace
and
at
the
acclamations
with
which
it
was
hailed
by
the
spectators
,
he
drew
his
sword
and
waved
it
in
defiance
of
his
conqueror
.
The
Disinherited
Knight
sprung
from
his
steed
,
and
also
unsheathed
his
sword
.
The
marshals
of
the
field
,
however
,
spurred
their
horses
between
them
,
and
reminded
them
,
that
the
laws
of
the
tournament
did
not
,
on
the
present
occasion
,
permit
this
species
of
encounter
.
"
We
shall
meet
again
,
I
trust
,
"
said
the
Templar
,
casting
a
resentful
glance
at
his
antagonist
;
"
and
where
there
are
none
to
separate
us
.
"
"
If
we
do
not
,
"
said
the
Disinherited
Knight
,
"
the
fault
shall
not
be
mine
.
On
foot
or
horseback
,
with
spear
,
with
axe
,
or
with
sword
,
I
am
alike
ready
to
encounter
thee
.
"
More
and
angrier
words
would
have
been
exchanged
,
but
the
marshals
,
crossing
their
lances
betwixt
them
,
compelled
them
to
separate
.
The
Disinherited
Knight
returned
to
his
first
station
,
and
Bois-Guilbert
to
his
tent
,
where
he
remained
for
the
rest
of
the
day
in
an
agony
of
despair
.
Without
alighting
from
his
horse
,
the
conqueror
called
for
a
bowl
of
wine
,
and
opening
the
beaver
,
or
lower
part
of
his
helmet
,
announced
that
he
quaffed
it
,
"
To
all
true
English
hearts
,
and
to
the
confusion
of
foreign
tyrants
.
"
He
then
commanded
his
trumpet
to
sound
a
defiance
to
the
challengers
,
and
desired
a
herald
to
announce
to
them
,
that
he
should
make
no
election
,
but
was
willing
to
encounter
them
in
the
order
in
which
they
pleased
to
advance
against
him
.
The
gigantic
Front-de-Boeuf
,
armed
in
sable
armour
,
was
the
first
who
took
the
field
.
He
bore
on
a
white
shield
a
black
bull
's
head
,
half
defaced
by
the
numerous
encounters
which
he
had
undergone
,
and
bearing
the
arrogant
motto
,
"
Cave
,
Adsum
"
.
Over
this
champion
the
Disinherited
Knight
obtained
a
slight
but
decisive
advantage
.
Both
Knights
broke
their
lances
fairly
,
but
Front-de-Boeuf
,
who
lost
a
stirrup
in
the
encounter
,
was
adjudged
to
have
the
disadvantage
.
In
the
stranger
's
third
encounter
with
Sir
Philip
Malvoisin
,
he
was
equally
successful
;
striking
that
baron
so
forcibly
on
the
casque
,
that
the
laces
of
the
helmet
broke
,
and
Malvoisin
,
only
saved
from
falling
by
being
unhelmeted
,
was
declared
vanquished
like
his
companions
.
In
his
fourth
combat
with
De
Grantmesnil
,
the
Disinherited
Knight
showed
as
much
courtesy
as
he
had
hitherto
evinced
courage
and
dexterity
.
De
Grantmesnil
's
horse
,
which
was
young
and
violent
,
reared
and
plunged
in
the
course
of
the
career
so
as
to
disturb
the
rider
's
aim
,
and
the
stranger
,
declining
to
take
the
advantage
which
this
accident
afforded
him
,
raised
his
lance
,
and
passing
his
antagonist
without
touching
him
,
wheeled
his
horse
and
rode
back
again
to
his
own
end
of
the
lists
,
offering
his
antagonist
,
by
a
herald
,
the
chance
of
a
second
encounter
This
De
Grantmesnil
declined
,
avowing
himself
vanquished
as
much
by
the
courtesy
as
by
the
address
of
his
opponent
.
