The true story tells that they rode along this way until evening, when they met an armed knight, accompanied by hounds and other dogs, who was going hunting. Upon seeing him, Dinadano challenged him to joust, and they spurred toward each other. The knight, who was called Sir Spinogres, was a nephew of King Bando of Magussir; he struck Dinadano with such force that he knocked him off his horse. After that, even though his arm was badly broken, Tristano jousted with Spinogres and defeated him.
