[10e] What 15th-century English author used a prison stay to rewrite French romances as Le Morte D’Arthur?
ANSWER: Sir Thomas Malory
[10m] Lynette rudely cheers on Gareth’s first opponent, Sir Pertolope, who goes by this title. A character with this title carries a holly bough in an alliterative poem that uses 46 lines to describe his adversary’s pentangle.
