Sir Lybius, maid Ellen, and the dwarf, renew their journey: they see a
castle stuck round with human heads; and are informed it belongs to a
knight called Sir Gefferon, who, in honour of his lemman or mistress,
challenges all comers: He that can produce a fairer lady, is to be
rewarded with a milk-white faulcon, but if overcome, to lose his head.
Sir Lybius spends the night in the adjoining town: In the morning goes
to challenge the faulcon. The knights exchange their gloves: they
agree to just in the market place: the lady and maid Ellen are placed
aloft in chairs: their dresses: the superior beauty of Sir Gefferon's
mistress described: the ceremonies previous to the combat. They engage:
the combat described at large: Sir Gefferon is incurably hurt; and
carried home on his shield. Sir Lybius sends the faulcon to K. Arthur;
and receives back a large present in florins. He stays 40 days to be
cured of his wounds, which he spends in feasting with the neighbouring
lords.
