209:

Launcelot defeats the 3 knights without Kay’s help – forces them to yield to Kay, not himself. Sends the three to “see” Arthur. Sending people to “see” Arthur is really just about submission to the authority of the state.

208:

Launcelot does not take the treasure of Arthur’s mother’s/father’s castle. Launcelot helps Sir Kay who is perused by 3 knights.

207:

Launcelot fights 2 giants and wins. Prisoners had been here 7 years – Giants are a metonomy for enclosers, rapists, outside the law (inhuman) to the values of chivalry.

206:

The damesell says she knows Gwenyvere has enchanted Launcelot to be only hers. I forgot about this part, but it seems unlikely this is the truth since the story wouldn’t work if Launcelot had been tricked – this must just be the damesell’s jealousy because Launcelot will only love Gwenyvere – the 2 Elaynes will come later, however.

Launcelot kills a castle porter at the bridge.

205:

Launcelot has the damesell ride ahead to trick the thief knight; Launcelot kills this knight.

I like the line that describes their leisurely speed “souffte amblynge pace”

204:

Launcelot heads off with the damesell, Gaherys frees the prisoners. They all eat dinner then go after Launcelot.

203:

Launcelot reveals his identity, defeats Terquin, tells Gaherys to free the prisoners.

202:

Terquin is looking to kill Launcelot but doesn’t know he’s actually fighting him. One of many fights that lasts 2 hours in this book.

201:

Launcelot and Terquin fight

200:

Launcelot sets out to seek his bother who’s still in prison. He mets a damesell on a white horse.
