Funniest chapter in Malory

[Sir Fauntleroy]

The one where La Cote Male Taile tries to act tough after beating a savage
lion (which must have been a mountain lion in England, right?) and then Sir
Kay knights the fool and sends him to joust La Cote Male Taile. When
everyone is laughing at him, he storms off, only to have that jackass
Bulberis (or whatever his name was) smote him to the ground, horse and all.
If that's not bad enough, he by 'strange adventure' meets Palomedes the
sarcen, who serves La Cote Male Taile up the way the other jerk did. Neither
of them was actually interested in fighting him, they just wanted to smote
him off the horse. Meanwhile the noisy broad on his back keeps telling him
what a lewd knight he is. Classic.

I think i shall animate that scene in flash.

Yes and no. There were lions in Europe in ancient times, though not
medieval. But whatever it might be, it could not be a mountain lion,
which is a New-World critter.

The Romans used 'em.
