¶ Capitulum vj

NOw sayd the kyng I am sure at this quest of the Sācgreal shalle alle ye of the table rounde departe / and neuer shalle I see yow ageyne hole to gyders / therfor I

[leaf 310r] wille see yow alle hole to gyders in the medowe of Camelot to Iuste and to torneye / that after your dethe men maye speke of hit that suche good knyghtes were holy to gyders suche a day As vnto that counceyll and at the kynges request they accorded alle / and toke on their harneis that longed vnto Iustynge but alle this meuynge of the kyng was for this entent for to see Galahalt preued / for the kynge demed he shold not lyghtly come ageyne vnto the Courte after his departynge / So were they assembled in the medowe bothe more and lasse / Thenne syr Galahalt by the prayer of the kynge and the Quene dyd vpon hym a noble Iesseraunce / and also he dyd on hys helme / but shelde wold he take none for no prayer of the kyng And thenne sir Gawayne and other knyghtes praid hym to take a spere / Ryghte soo he dyd / and the Quene was in a toure with alle her ladyes for to behold that turnement / Thenne sir Galahalt dressid hym in myddes of the medowe / and began to breke speres merueyllously that all men had wonder of hym for he there surmounted alle other knyȝtes / for within a whyle he had defouled many good knyghtes of the table round / sauf tweyne that was syr launcelot and sir Percyuale /
