Tfte Day of Destiny
from Morte D'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory
52

4. ady
A nd quickly KingArthur movedhimselfwithhis army alongthe coastline
/! westward., toward Salisbury. And there was a day assigned betwixt King
L rthor and Sir Mordred that they should not meet upon a field beside
Salisbury and. not far from the coast. And this day so assigned as Monday after
Trinity Sunday (the eighth Sqnday after Easter), whereof King Arthur was passing
glad that he mightbe avenged upon Sir Mordred-
So upon Trinity Sunday at night King Arthur dreamed a wonderful dream,
and in his dream it seemed to him that he saw upon a platform a chair, and the
chair yras fast to a wheel, and thereupon sat King Arthur in the richest cloth of
gold that might be made. And the King thought there was under him, far from
him, and hideous deep blackwater, and therein was all manner of serpents, and
worms, and wild beasts, foul and horrible. And suddenly the King thought that
the wheel turned upside down, and hq fell among the serpents, and every beast
took him by a limb. And then the King cried as he lay in his bed, "Help, Help!"
And then knights, squires, and. yeomen awaked the King, and then he was so
amazed that he knew not where he was. And then so he awaked until it was night
day, and then he fell on slumbering again, not sleeping nor thoroughly waking.
So it seemed to the King that there came Sir Gawain unto him vgith a number
of fair ladies with him. so when King Arthur saw him, he said, "welcome, my
sister's son. I weenedye hadbeen dead. And now I see thee on - live, much am
I beholden unto Almighty Jesu. Ah, fair nephew and my sister's son, what been
these ladies that hither be come with you?"
"Sir," said Sir Gawain, "all these be ladies for whom I have fought for when I
was man tiving. And all these are those that I didbattle for in righteous quarrels,
and God had given them that grace, at their great pr-ayer, because I did battle
for them for their right, that they should bring me hither unto you . Thus much
had given leave God", for to warn y,.QS
9f
your death. If you fight tomorrow with
Sir Modred, as ye both have assighbd; doubt ye not ye must be slain, and the
most party of your people on both parties. And forthe great grace and goodness
53

5. that Almighty Jesu had unto you, and for pity of you and many more other good
men there shall be slain, God had sent me to you of his special grace to give you
warning that in no wise ye do battle as tomorn, but that ye take a treaty fora
month from today. And you make generous offers , so that tomorn ye put in a
delay. Bor within a month shall come Sir Lancelot with all his noble knights and
rescue you worshipfully and slay Sir Modred and all that ever will hold with him.
Then, Sir Gawain and all the ladies vanished. And anon the King called upon
his knights, squires, and yeomen, and charged them quickly to fetch his noble
lords and wise bishops unto him. And when theywere come the King told them
of his dream, that Sir Gawain had told him and warned him that, and he fought
on the morn, he should be slain. Then the King commanded Sir Lucan the Butler
and his brother Sir Bedivere the Bold, with two bishops with them, and charged
them in any wise to take a treaty for a month from today with Sir Modred. "And
spare not: proffer him lands and goods as much as ye think reasonable.',
So then they departed and came to Sir Modred where he had a grim host of
a hundred thousand, and there they entreated Sir Modred long time. And at
the last Sir Modred was agreed for to have Cornwall and Kent by King Ar-
thur's days, and after that, all England, after the days of King Arthur.
Then they ageed that King Arthur and Sir Modred should meet betwixt both
their hosts, and each of them should bring fourteen persons. And so they came
with this word unto Arthur. Then said he, "I am glad that this is d.one," so he
went into the field.
And when King Arthur should depart, he warned all his host that, and they see
any sword drawn, "Look ye come on fiercely and slay that traitor Sir Modred,
for I in no wise trust him." In like wise Sir Modred warned. his host that " And
ye see any manner of sword drawn, look that ye come on fiercely, and so slay
all that ever before you standeth, for in no wise I will not trrist for this treaty ."
And in the same wise said Sir Modred unto his host, "For I know well my father
will be avanged upon me."
And so they met as their arrangernent was and were agreed and accorded thor-
oughly. And wine was fetched and they drank together. Right so came and
adder out of a little heathbush, and it stung a knight in the foot. And so when
the knight felt him so stung, he looked down and saw the adder. And anon he
drew his sword to slay the adder, and thought none other harm. And when the
host on both parties saw that sword drawn, then they blew beams, horns, and
shouted grimly. And so both hosts diessed them together. And King Arthur took
his horse and said, "Alas, this unhappy day!" and so rode to his party, and Sir

Modred in like wise.
And never since was there never seen a more dolefuller battle in no Christian
land, for there was but rushing and riding, lunging and striking; and many a
deadly stroke. But ever King Arthur rode throughout the battalion of Sir Modred
many times and did full nobly, as a noble should do, and at all times he fainted
never. And Sir Modred did his devoir that day and put himself in great peril.
And thus they fought all the long day, and never stopped till the noble knights
were laid to the cold earth. And ever they fought still it was near night, and then
was there a hundred thousand laid dead upon the down. Then was King Arthur
wild with rage out of measure when he saw his people so slain from him. And
so he looked about him and could see no more of all his host, and good knights
left no more on - live, but two knights: the t'one was Sir Lucan the Butler and
the other his brother Sir Bedivere. And yet they were full sore wounded.
"Jesu, mercy," said the Kng, "where are all my noble knights become? Alas that
ever I should see this doleful day! For now," said King Arthur. "I am come to
mine end. But would to God." Said he , "that I wist nowwhere were that traitor
Sir Modred that has caused all this mischief."
Thgr King Arthur looked about and ryas ware where stood Sir Modred leaning
upon his sword among a great heap of dead men.
"Now give me my spear," said King Arthur unto Sir Lucan. "For yonder I have
espied the traitor that all this woe hath wrought."
"Sir, let him be," said Sir Lucan, "for he is unhappy.And if ye pass this unhappy
day ye shall be right well revenged upon him. And, good lord, remember ye of
your night's dream, and what the spirit of Sir Gawain told you tonight, and yet
God of his great good.ness had presenred you hitherto. And for God's sake, my
lord, leave offby this, for, blessed be God, ye have won the field: for yet we been
here three on - live, and with Sir Modred is not one on - live. And therefore if
ye leave offnow, this wicked day of destiny is past."
"Now, befall me death, tide me life," said. the King, "now I see him yonder alone,
he shall never escape mine hands. For at a better avail shall I never have him."
"God speed you well!" said Sir Bedivere.
Then the King got his spear in both his hands and ran toward his Modred, crying
and saying, " Traitor. Now is thy corne!"
And when Sir Modred saw King Arthur, he ran until him with his sword drawn
55

7. in his hand, and there King Arthur smote Sir Modred under the shield, with
a thrust of his spear, throughout the body more than 4 fathom. And when Sir
Modred felt that he had his death's wound, he thrust himself with the might that
he had up to hand guard of King Arthur's spear, and right so he smote his father
King Arthur with his sword holden in both his hands, upon the side of the head,
that the sword pierced the helmet and the casting of the brain. And therewith
Sir Modred dashed down stark dead to the earth.
And noble King Arthur fell in a swough to the earth, and there he swooned. often-
times, and Sir Lucan and Sir Bedivere oftentimes heaved him up. And so, weakly
betwixt them, they led him to a little chapel not far from the seaside, and when
the King was there, him thought him reasonably eased. Then heard they people
cry in the field. "Now go thou, Sir Lucan;" said the King, "and let me know what
betokens that noise in the field."
So Sir Lucan departed, for he was grievously wounded in many places. And so as
he walked he saw and harkened by the moonlight how that pillagers and robbers
were come into the field to pill and to rob many a full noble knight of brooches
and bracelets and of many a good ring and many a richjewel. And who that were
not dead all out there they slewthem for their harness and their riches. When Sir
Lucan understood this work, he came to the King as soon as he might and told
him all what he had heard and seen. "Therefore by my advice," said Sir Lucan,
"it is best that we bring you to some town."
"I would it were so," said the King, "but I may not stand, my head works so.
Ah, Sir Lancelot," said King Arthur, "this day have I sore missed thee. And alas
that ever I was against thee, for now have I my death, whereof Sir Gawain me
warned in my dream."

Then Sir Lucan took up the King the t'one side and Sir Bedivere the other parEy;
and in the lifting Sir Lucan fell in a swoon that part of his guts fell out of his body,
and therewith the noble knight's heart burst. And when the King awoke he beheld
Sir Lucan how he lay foaming at the mouth and part of his guts lay at his feet.
"Alas," said the Krg, "this is to me a full heavy slghito see this noble duke so
die for my sake, for he would have helped me that had more need of help than
I. Alas that he would not complain him for his heart was so set to help me. Now
Jesu have mercy upou his soul."
Then Sir Bedivere wept for the death of his brother.
"Now leave this morning and weeping, gentle knight," said the Krg, "for all
this will not,avail me. For wit thou well, and I might live myself, the death of Sir
Lucan would grieve me evermore. But my time passeth on fast," said the King.
"Therefore," said King Arthur unto Sir Bedivere, "take thou here Excalibur my
good sword and go with it to yonder water's side: and when thou comest there
i charge thee throw my sword in that water and come again and tell me what
thou saw there."
"Mylord.," said Bedivere, " your commandment shallbe done, and I shall quickly
bring your sword again."
So, Sir Bedevere departed. And by the way he beheld that noble sword, that the
hilt and hand guard was all precioup stones. And then he said to himself, "If I
throw this rich sword in the water, thereof shall never come good, but harm and
loss." And then Sir Bedivere hid Excalibur under a tree. And so, as soon as he
might, he came again unto the King and said he had been at the watgr and had
thrown the sword into the water.
"What did you see there?" said the King. .
*Sir,' he said, "I saw nothing but waves and winds."
!'That is untruly said of you," said the King. "And therefore you go quickly again
and do my commandment: as you are to me loved and dear, spare not, but throw
it in."
Then Sir Bedeivere returned again and took the sword in his hand. And yet he
thought sin and shame to throw away that noble sword. And so again he hid the
,*ord and returned again and told the King, that he had been at the water and

9. "Sir," he said, "I saw nothing but waters lap and waves grow.,,
"'Ah, traitor unto me and untrue," said King Arthur, "now you have betrayed me
twice. Who would have weened thaflyou have been to me so loved and dear, and.
you are named a noble knight, and would betray me for the riches of this sword.
But now go again lightly, for you long tarrying put me in great jeopardy of my life,
for I have taken cold. And but if you do now as I bid you, if ever I may see you I
shall slayyou with my own hands, for you would for my rich sword seeme dead".
Then Sir Bedivere departed and went to the sword and lightly took it up, and
so he went to the water's side; and there he bound the girdle about the hilts,
and threlv the sword as far into the water as he might. And there came an arm
and a hand above the water and took it and clutched it , and shook it thrice and
brandished; and then vanished away the hand with the sword into the water. So
Sir Bedivere came again to the King and told him what he saw.
"Alas," said the Krg, "help me hence, for I dread me I have tarried. overlong.,,
Then Sir Bedivere took the King upon his back and so went with him to that
wateris side, even closer, by the bank floated a little barge with many fair ladies
in it; and among them all was a queen; and all they had black hoods, and all they
wept and shrieked when they saw King Arthur.
"Now put me into that barge," said the King; and so he did softly. And there
received him'three ladies with great mourning, and so they set them down. And
in one of their laps King Arthur ldid his head, and then the queen said, "Ah, my
dear brother, why have ye tarried so long from me? Alas, this wound on.your
head had caught over much cold." And anon they rowed fromward the land., and
Sir Bedivere beheld all the ladies go forward him."
Then Sir Bedivere cried and said, "Ah, mylordArthur, what shall become of me,
nowyou go from me and leave me here alone among my ene?nies?"
"comfort yourself," said the Krg, "and do as well as you may, for in me is no
trust in.'For I must into the legendary valley to heal me of my grievous wound.
For ever the queen and ladies wept and shrieked, that it was pity to hear. And as
soon as Sir Bedivere had lost sight of the barge he wept and wailed, and so took
the forest and went all that night.
And in the morning he was ware, betwixt two bare woods, of a chapel and a
hermitage. Then was sir Bedivere glad, and thither he went, and when he came
into the chapel he saw where lay a hermit groveling on all fours, close thereby a

tomb was new dug. When the hernr,it saw Sir Bedivere he knew him well, for he
was but little before Bishop of Canterbury, that Sir Modred put to flight.
"Sir," said Sir Bedivere, "what man is.there here interred that you pray so fast for?"
"Fair son," said the hermit. "I wot not verily but by guessing. But this same night,
at midnight, here came a number oJladies and brought here a dead corpse and
prayed me to inter him. And here they offered a hundred tapers, and gave me a
thousand gold coins."
"Alas," said Sir Bedivere," that was mylord King Arthur, which laid here buried
in this chapel."
Then Sir Bedivere swooned, and when he awoke he prayed. the hermit that he
might abide with him still, there to live with fasting and prayers:
"For from hence will I never go," said Sir Bedivere," by my
will, but all the days of my life here to pray for my lord Arthur."
"Sir, you are welcome to me," said the hermit, "for I know you better than you
think that I do: for you are Sir Bedivere the Bold, and the full noble duke Sir
Lucan the Butler was your brother."
Then Sir Bedivere told the hermit all as you have heard before, and so he stayed
with the hermit that was beforehand Bishop of Canterbury. And there Sir Bedi-
vere put upon him poor clothes, and served the hermit full lowly in fasting and
in prayers
Thus of Arthur I find no more written in books that been authorized, neither
more of the very certainty of his death heard I nor read, but thus was he led away
in a ship wherein were three queens; that one was King Arthur's sister, Queen
Morgan le Fay, the other was the Queen of North Galis, and the third was the
Queen of the Waste Lands. .
Now more of the death of King Arthur could I never find, but that these ladies
brought him to his grave, and such one was interred. there which the hermit
bare witness that was once Bishop of Canterbury. But yet the hermit knew not
in certain that he was verily the'body of King Arthur; for this tale Sir Bedivere,
a knight of the Table Round, made it to be written.
Yet some men say in many parts of England that King Arthur is not dead, but
carried by the will of our Lord Jesu into another place; and men say that he shall
come again, and he shall win the Holy Cross. Yet I will not say that it shall be so,
but rather I would say: here in this world he changed his life. And many men say
that there is written upon the tomb this:
