Turquine
Sir Turquine had sixty-four of king Arthur’s knights in prison, all of whom he had vanquished by his own hand. He hated sir Launcelot, because he had slain his brother, sir Carados, at the Dolorous Tower. Sir Launcelot challenged sir Turquine to a trial of strength, and slew him, after which he liberated the captive knights.
Then came in Sir Carados of the dolorous tower, and Sir
Turquine, knights of the castle; and there encountered with them
Sir Percivale de Galis and Sir Lamorak de Galis, that were two
brethren. And there encountered Sir Percivale with Sir Carados,
and either brake their spears unto their hands, and then Sir
Turquine with Sir Lamorak, and either of them smote down
other’s horse and all to the earth, and either parties
rescued other, and horsed them again.
