Excerpt from book: Page 3.?The knignti rode gaily ahead. This episode, in practically identical form, is found as the introduction to the head-cutting challenge, of which in Wauchier's compilation Carados is the hero. This double use of the same incident appears to me significant in face of the fact that the ' Carados' story is an inferior version of our ' Syr Gaivayne and the Grene Knyghte.'

For the mysterious character attached to Galvoie (Galloway), and its connection with the Other-world, cf. 'Legend of Sir Perceval,' pp. 186-192. Page 7.?When Sir Govjatn beheld this. There are two distinct versions of Arthur's rebuke to his knights ; the one given in the text is found in B.N. 12576 (the source of this translation), B.N. 1429, Edinburgh, and Mont- pellier. The other version, in which Arthur refuses to explain what he means, and locks himself in his ' loge,'the door of which is broken open by his indignant knights, who insist upon knowing the reason of his accusation, is found in B.N. 12577 5 794 '453 an' Mons. This latter version seems to me an unintelligent expansion of that in our text. Arthur's desire is to incite his knights to the rescue of their comrade, not to heap unnecessary insult upon them. The fact that here Ywain is specially coupled with Gawain should be noted. Ywain is one of the earliest of Arthurian heroes, appearing in the chronicles; whenever we find him in ...
