Abstract:I argue that in Malory's Le Morte Darthur, the formal oaths taken before trial by combat are essential for making those trials decisive. Arthur's failure to regulate the oath-taking process before these trials, however, makes them ineffective at producing a clear verdict and ultimately contributes to the fall of Camelot.

“这是我的手套”：《达瑟之死》中的介绍性誓言和战斗审判

摘要：我认为，在马洛里的《达瑟之死》中，战斗审判前的正式宣誓对于使这些审判具有决定性至关重要。然而，亚瑟未能在这些审判之前规范宣誓过程，这使得他们无法做出明确的判决，并最终导致卡米洛特的垮台。
