There Sagremor was thrown down, who was a very gallant knight. He was on the point of being detained and captured, when Erec spurs to rescue him, breaking his lance into splinters upon one of the opponents. So hard he strikes him on the breast that he made him quit the saddle. THERE SAGRAMORE WAS THROWN DOWN WHO WAS A VERY GALLANT KNIGHT HE WAS ON THE POINT OF BEING DETAINED AND CAPTURED WHEN ERIC SPURS TO RESCUE HIM BREAKING HIS LANCE INTO SPLINTERS UPON ONE OF THE OPPONENTS SO HARD HE STRIKES HIM ON THE BREAST THAT HE MADE HIM QUIT THE SADDLE
 his steed, carrying with him saddle and stirrup, and even the reins of his bridle in his hand. All those who witnessed the jousting were filled with amazement, and said it cost him dear to joust with such a goodly knight. Erec did not wish to stop to capture either horse or rider, but rather to joust and distinguish himself in order that his prowess might appear. He thrills the ranks in front of him. Gawain animates those who were on his side by his prowess, and by winning horses and knights to the discomfiture of his opponents. I speak of my lord Gawain, who did right well and valiantly. In the fight he unhorsed Guincel, and took Gaudin of the Mountain; he captured knights and horses alike: my lord Gawain did well. Girtlet the son of Do, and Yvain, and Sagremor the Impetuous, so evilly entreated their adversaries that they drove them back to the gates, capturing and unhorsing many of them. In front of the gate of the town the strife began again between those within and those without. NG TO EARTH SO HE FLEW FROM HIS STEED CARRYING WITH HIM SADDLE AND STIRRUP AND EVEN THE REINS OF HIS BRIDLE IN HIS HAND ALL THOSE WHO WITNESSED THE JOUSTING WERE FILLED WITH AMAZEMENT AND SAID IT COST HIM DEAR TO JOUST WITH SUCH A GOODLY KNIGHT EREC DID NOT WISH TO STOP TO CAPTURE EITHER HORSE OR RIDER BUT RATHER TO JOUST AND DISTINGUISH HIMSELF IN ORDER THAT HIS PROWESS MIGHT APPEAR HE THRILLS THE RANKS IN FRONT OF HIM GAWEN ANIMATES THOSE WHO WERE ON HIS SIDE BY HIS PROWESS AND BY WINNING HORSES AND KNIGHTS TO THE DISCOMFITURE OF HIS OPPONENTS I SPEAK OF MY LORD GAWEN WHO DID RIGHT WELL AND VALIANTLY IN THE FIGHT HE UNHORSED GWENSAL AND TOOK GAUDIN OF THE MOUNTAIN HE CAPTURED KNIGHTS AND HORSES ALIKE MY LORD GAWEN DID WELL GURFLET THE SON OF DO AND IVAN AND SAGAMORE THE IMPETUOUS SO EVILLY ENTREATED THEIR ADVERSARIES THAT THEY DROVE THEM BACK TO THE GATES CAPTURING AND HORSEING MANY OF THEM IN FRONT OF THE GATE OF THE TOWN THE STRIFE BEGAN AGAIN BETWEEN THOSE WITHIN AND THOSE WITHOUT
