Three Knights of Battle Were in the Court of Arthur


Cadwr (Cador), the Earl of Cornwall; Lancelot du Lac; and Owain (Ywaine), son of Urien Rheged.

and this was their characteristic, that they would not retreat from battle, neither for Spear, nor for Arrow, nor for Sword, and Arthur never had shame in battle, the day he saw their faces there, and they were called the Knights of Battle.
