arthur vs 15 foot tall giant

There was a heathen king called Canlang who was fifteen feet tall. He was one of the two strongest pagans in this battle and he did his utmost to destroy the knights of the Round Table. King Arthur engaged Canlang in battle and at first he found it difficult to deliver a blow, the giant was so strong. Arthur saw that his only chance was to get behind him and at last he managed to strike a single blow under his raised shield, through his armpit, through flesh and bone and down to his navel. The misbeliever took his last breath and lay lifeless across his horse’s back, his arms hanging over one side and his legs over the other, as the horse galloped off through the melee as best it could.

The pagans saw this blow that Canlang had received and drew back in fear. Guinevere had watched Arthur deliver that sword stroke and thanked Jesus Christ for it. ‘If only that young man who is fighting there could be my husband,’ she said.
