Sir Gareth and the Damosel .

   
 

                

             Beaumain's first wish was for King Arthur to give him food.  After King Arthur had given him food, Beaumain's Second wish was to be knighted by Sir Lancelot.  Sir Lancelot decided he liked Beaumain's so he dubbed him Knight of Sir Lancelot.  The actual knighting of Beaumain's happens in another chapter.  Beaumain's reveals to Sir Lancelot who his family is and that his name is really Gareth.  Sir Kay was jealous of Beaumain's and didn’t think he should have the opportunity to be the Knight of Lancelot.  But Sir Lancelot tells him that it isn’t right for him to be jealous and it is none of his business.

 The third “wish” that Beaumain's had was to overtake a damosel.  The damosel that he overtakes isn’t too happy because she thinks he is way below her social class.  Since he had done kitchen work for King Arthur, she demeans him by telling him he smells of a kitchen.  He was very ashamed that she was saying all the mean words, so eventually he got tired of it and he went to bed.
