arthur bones

You should also know that Arthur's bones were huge... His shinbone, when placed on the ground by a monk next to that of the tallest man there, reached three fingers beyond the man's knee. And his skull was so broad and long as to be a wonder or marvel, and the space between his brows and eyes was the breadth of a full palm. There appeared on him also ten wounds or more, largely scarred over, except for one, which was larger than the rest and showed a big cut, which seemed to have been lethal.
