078:

Gawayne asks Arthur for a gift (remember, Gawayne is King Lotte’s kid) to be made a knight. Then a poor man – cowherde – enters and asks that his son, Torre, be made a knight. However, Merlin knows this cowherde is not Torre’s father (remember Merlin’s powers from the prose Merlin).

070:

Balyn finds the lady sleeping with another knight. Garnysh cuts off the lady’s and this other knights head and then in a state of total despair for killing the lady he loved, he too kills himself. Balyn looks around and decides it’s probably a good idea to just leave since anyone coming along will think he killed everyone and so he just walks away, probably whistling. Balyn is welcomed at a new castle.
