Hvad sker der?

1. The damsel urges Beaumains to flee, then asks the Knight of the Black Lawn to drive him away or kill him.
2. The Black Knight threatens to take Beaumains’s horse and armor, while Beaumains asserts his noble birth and challenges him.
3. They charge, and Beaumains drives his spear through the Black Knight, who continues fighting and badly wounds him.
4. After an hour and a half, the Black Knight collapses and dies; Beaumains takes his armor and horse.
5. The damsel insults Beaumains again, but he refuses to abandon her or the journey unless killed or truly beaten.
