SATBK Origintober 10

In Chretien de Troyes' Perceval (The Story of the Grail), Gawain was mid-hook up with the sister of his mortal enemy (because Gawain killed their Dad) when the townspeople (who also hated him for killing their lord) realized he was there. They attacked the tower and Gawain defended himself with a chessboard as a shield.

My Lord Gawain sought her love and implored her, saying he would be her knight for all his life; and she did not refuse him, but gladly granted him her love. Meanwhle a vavasor had entered, who was to bring them sorrow; [...] She hurried to fetch his [Gawain's] armor, for she was not feeling at all secure. When she had armed his fully, both she and my lord Gawain were less afraid, except that as luck would have it there was no shield to be found; so my lord Gawain made a shield from a chessboard and said "Friend, I don't want you to look for any other shield for me."
