So Sir Palomides dressed him unto that other knight, Sir Bleoberis,
that was a full noble knight, nigh kin unto Sir Launcelot. And so they
met so hard that Sir Palomides fell to the earth, horse and all. Then
Sir Bleoberis cried aloud and said thus: Make thee ready thou false
traitor knight, Breuse Saunce Pité, for wit thou certainly I will have
ado with thee to the utterance for the noble knights and ladies that
thou hast falsely betrayed. When this false knight and traitor, Breuse
Saunce Pité, heard him say so, he took his horse by the bridle and fled
his way as fast as ever his horse might run, for sore he was of him
afeard. When Sir Bleoberis saw him flee he followed fast after, through
thick and through thin. And by fortune as Sir Breuse fled, he saw even
afore him three knights of the Table Round, of the which the one hight
Sir Ector de Maris, the other hight Sir Percivale de Galis, the third
hight Sir Harry le Fise Lake, a good knight and an hardy. And as for
Sir Percivale, he was called that time of his time one of the best
knights of the world, and the best assured. When Breuse saw these
knights he rode straight unto them, and cried unto them and prayed them
of rescues. What need have ye? said Sir Ector. Ah, fair knights, said
Sir Breuse, here followeth me the most traitor knight, and most coward,
and most of villainy; his name is Breuse Saunce Pité, and if he may get
me he will slay me without mercy and pity. Abide with us, said Sir
Percivale, and we shall warrant you.
