Griflet asks King Arthur to make him a knight.  “THOU art full young and tender of age”, said Arthur,  King Arthur  then makes Griflet a knight.  Merlin helps Arthur make his decision by saying “it were great pity to lose Griflet, for he will be a passing good man when he is of age, abiding with you the term of his life”.  After he does Merlin tells how he will wander and meet up against the best knight in the world near a fountain.  The knight at the fountain is the knight now, he must give a gift.  Griflet promises that when he fights the knight on either foot or horseback that he will come back to King Arthur.  Griflet then rode to the fountain and awoke the knight by hitting on his shield. The knight questions Griflet saying “That is me loath, said the knight, but I will need reasons for this”.  Griflet decides to challenge the knight to joust, the knight warns him.  Griflet gets stabbed, by the knight.
