with Una;
but, deluded by Archimago, he quits the lady, and the two meet with
numerous adventures. At last, the knight, having slain the dragon,
marries Una; and thus holiness is allied to the Oneness of Truth
(1590).

=Red Hand of Ulster.=

Calverley, of Calverley, Yorkshire. Walter Calverley, Esq., in 1605,
murdered two of his children, and attempted to murder his wife and a
child "at nurse." This became the subject of _The Yorkshire Tragedy_. In
consequence of these murders, the family is required to wear "the bloody
hand."

The Holt family, of Lancashire, has a similar tradition connected with
their coat armor.

=Red Knight= (_The_), Sir Perimo'n[^e]s, one of the four brothers who kept
the passages leading to Castle Perilous. In the allegory of Gareth, this
knight represents noon, and was the third brother. Night, the eldest
born, was slain by Sir Gareth; the Green Knight, which represents the
young day-spring, was overcome, but not slain; and the Red Knight, being
overcome, was spared also. The reason is this: darkness is _slain_, but
dawn is only _overcome_ by the stronger light of noon, and noon decays
into the evening twilight. Tennyson in his _Gareth and Lynette_, calls
Sir Perimon[^e]s "Meridies," or "Noonday Sun." The Latin name is not
consistent with a British tale.--Sir T. Malory, _History of Prince
Arthur_, i. 129 (1470); Tennyson, _Idylls_.

=Red Knight of the Red Lands= (_The_), Sir Ironside. "He had the strength
of seven men, and every day his strength went on increasing till noon."
This knight kept the Lady Lion[^e]s captive in Castle Perilous. In the
allegory of Sir Gareth, Sir Ironside represents death, and the captive
lady "the Bride," or Church triumphant. Sir Gareth combats with Night,
Morn, Noon, and Evening, or fights the fight of faith, and then
overcomes the last enemy, which is death, when he marries the lady, or
is received into the Church, which is "the Lamb's Bride." Tennyson, in
his _Gareth and Lynette_, makes the combat with the Red Knight ("Mors,"
or "Death") to be a single stroke; but the _History_ says it is endured
from morn to noon, and from noon to night--in fact, that man's whole
life is a contest with moral and physical death.--Sir T. Malory,
_History of Prince Arthur_, i. 134-137 (1470); Tennyson, _Idylls_
("Gareth and Lynette").

=Red Pipe.= The Great Spirit long ago called the Indians together, and,
standing on the red pipe-stone rock, broke off a piece, which
