Le Morte Darthur, Chapter 247: riassunto

Cosa succede

1. Sir Lamorak and Sir Dinadan regret their companion's identity, but Dinadan rides with King Mark the next morning.
2. Sir Berluse and his two cousins confront them, and Dinadan declares that his escort promise requires him to defend Mark.
3. Berluse unhorses Mark, while Dinadan unhorses both cousins; with Dinadan's help, Mark overcomes Berluse and the cousins flee.
4. Dinadan prevents Mark from killing Berluse, and they leave the wounded knight behind.
5. At a guarded bridge, Mark refuses to joust, and the waiting knight knocks Dinadan from his horse.
6. The victor refuses further combat and withholds his name, but Dinadan suspects Sir Tor from his shield.

Cosa notare

Dinadan's defeat leaves him angry, but the crossing's custom blocks further combat. His wish for revenge does not overcome that limit.
