Erec grabs him by the helmet and forcibly drags it from his head, and unlaces the ventail, so that his head and face are completely exposed. When Erec thinks of the insult done him by the dwarf in the wood, he would have cut off his head, had he not cried for mercy. ERIC GRABS HIM BY THE HELMET AND FORCIBLY DRAGS IT FROM HIS HEAD AND UNLACES THE VENTAIL SO THAT HIS HEAD AND FACE ARE COMPLETELY EXPOSED WHEN ERIC THINKS OF THE INSULT DONE HIM BY THE DWARF IN THE WOOD HE WOULD HAVE CUT OFF HIS HEAD HAD HE NOT CRIED FOR MERCY
r so violently a blow that the shield cannot withstand it, nor is the hauberk of any use to prevent the sword from penetrating to the bone. He made the crimson blood flow down to his waist-band. Both of the vassals are hard fighters: they fight with honours even, for one cannot gain from the other a single foot of ground. Their hauberks are so torn and their shields so hacked, that there is actually not enough of them left to serve as a protection. So they fight all exposed. Each one loses a deal of blood, and both grow weak. He strikes Erec and Erec strikes him. Erec deals him such a tremendous blow upon the helmet that he quite stuns him. Then he lets him have it again and again, giving him three blows in quick succession, which entirely split the helmet and cut the coif beneath it. The sword even reaches the skull and cuts a bone of his head, but without penetrating the brain. He stumbles and totters, and while he staggers, Erec pushes him over, so that he falls upon his right side.
