Mark

( Sir ), king of Cornwall, who held his court at Tintag´il. He was a wily, treacherous coward, hated and despised by all true knights. One day, Sir Dinadan, in jest, told him that Sir Launce lot might be recognized by “his shield, which was silver with a black rim.” This was, in fact, the cognizance of Sir Mordred; but, to carry out the joke, Sir Mordred lent it to Dagonet, King Arthur’s fool. Then, mounting the jester on a large horse, and placing a huge spear in his hand, the knights sent him to offer battle to King Mark. When Dagonet beheld the coward king, he cried aloud, “Keep thee, sir knight, for I will slay thee!” King Mark, thinking it to be Sir Launce lot, spurred his horse to flight. The fool gave chase, rating King Mark “as a wood man [ madman ].” All the knights who beheld it roared at the jest, told King Arthur, and the forest rang with their laughter. The wife of King Mark was Isond (Ysolde) the Fair of Ireland, whose love for Sir Tristram was a public scandal.—Sir T. Malory, History of Prince Arthur , ii. 96, 97 (1470).
