Three gallant knights, Sir Gawaine, Sir Marhaus, and Sir Uwaine set out together in search of adventures. At the last they cam in to a grete forest that was named the countreye and foreste of Arroy and the countrey of straunge auentures.

"We shall not part so lightly," said Marhaus. "I shall bring you through the forest, and mayhap ride farther with you." For seven days more they rode onward without adventure. Then they found themselves on the borders of a still greater forest, in what was known as the country and forest of Arroy and the land of strange adventures. "It is well named," said Marhaus.

Cheirisophus the Lacedæmonian was given the chief command, the two youngest generals, Xenophon and Timerion, were placed in charge of the rear-guard. A troop of slingers was organised; all horses with the arroy were sequestrated to form a cavalry squadron.
