Chapter 246 of 503 · 2 min to read the chapter
In Chapter 246, King Mark rides with Sir Lamorak and Sir Dinadan, jousts once with Sir Trian, and accepts lodging at Sir Tor le Fise Aries’s castle. There, the steward Berluse recognizes him as his father’s killer and promises safety inside the lodging but threatens revenge once Mark leaves.
What happens
- At a bridge, Sir Dinadan identifies Allein and Trian as brothers who challenge passing knights.
- Shamed by Dinadan’s urging, King Mark charges Sir Trian; both break their spears, but Mark refuses another joust.
- Mark, Lamorak, and Dinadan receive a generous welcome at Sir Tor le Fise Aries’s castle.
- Berluse recognizes Mark and accuses him of killing his father and attempting to kill him.
- Out of respect for Tor and Lamorak, Berluse protects the guests inside but threatens Mark outside.
