soud, the which was glad of Sir Gaheris'
words; for well she wist by his deeds and manners that it was Sir
Tristram. And then the king made a feast royal, and to that feast
came Sir Uwaine le Fise de Roy Ureine, and some called him Uwaine
le Blanchemains. And this Sir Uwaine challenged all the knights of
Cornwall. Then was the king wood wroth that he had no knights to answer
him. Then Sir Andred, nephew unto King Mark, leapt up and said: I will
encounter with Sir Uwaine. Then he yede and armed him and horsed him in
the best manner. And there Sir Uwaine met with Sir Andred, and smote him
down that he swooned on the earth. Then was King Mark sorry and wroth
out of measure that he had no knight to revenge his nephew, Sir Andred.

So the king called unto him Sir Dinas, the Seneschal, and prayed him for
his sake to take upon him to joust with Sir Uwaine. Sir, said Sir Dinas,
I am full loath to have ado with any knight of the Round Table. Yet,
said the king, for my love take upon thee to joust. So Sir Dinas made
him ready, and anon they encountered together with great spears, but
Sir Dinas was overthrown, horse and man, a great fall. Who was wroth
but King Mark! Alas, he said, have I no knight that will encounter with
yonder knight? Sir, said Sir Gaheris, for your sake I will joust. So Sir
Gaheris made him ready, and when he was armed he rode into the field.
And when Sir Uwaine saw Sir Gaheris' shield he rode to him and said:
Sir, ye do not your part. For, sir, the first time ye were made Knight
of the Round Table ye sware that ye should not have ado with your
fellowship wittingly. And pardie, Sir Gaheris, ye knew me well enough
by my shield, and so do I know you by your shield, and though ye would
break your oath I would not break mine; for there is not one here, nor
ye, that shall think I am afeard of you, but I durst right well have ado
with you, and yet we be sisters' sons. Then was Sir Gaheris ashamed, and
so therewithal every knight went their way, and Sir Uwaine rode into the
country.

Then King Mark armed him, and took his horse and his spear, with a
squire with him. And then he rode afore Sir Uwaine, and suddenly at a
gap he ran upon him as he that was not ware of him, and there he smote
him almost through the body, and there left him. So within a while there
came Sir Kay and found Sir Uwaine, and asked him how he was hurt. I wot
not, said Sir Uwaine, why nor wherefore, but by treason I am sure I gat
this hurt; for
