After the hour of nones, it happened that Lancelot met Mordred's older son, and he was unquestionably a good knight. Lancelot recognized him because he bore the insignia his father used to bear, and he charged at him, sword in hand. The other did not refuse him but raised his shield against the blow when he saw the sword coming. Lancelot, who hated him mortally, struck him so hard that he split his shield to the boss and cut off the fist with which he was holding it.
