Le Morte d’Arthur

A knight who will not explain the arms on his shield refuses to give his name—and sends King Arthur crashing from the saddle. But Sir Tristram has more than one challenge waiting in the forest.

In the forests and meadows of Arthur’s kingdom, a knight’s honor is tested at spearpoint, and old enemies may owe one another their lives. Seeking news of Sir Launcelot, Tristram rescues Palomides from nine attackers, only to insist that the two mortal foes meet in combat a fortnight later. Then a strange knight strikes them both down and vanishes among the trees. Tristram sets off after him, while the promised duel still hangs between the two men. What will he find on the road—and will Palomides keep his word?
