Quote #10
The nobles of the inner circle on both sides were in a way traditionally more friendly with each other than with their own men. For them the numbers were necessary for the sake of the bag, and for scenic purposes. […] When sufficient kerns had been decapitated and sufficient rough handling had been dealt out to the English captains, Arthur would recognize the impossibility of further resistance. (Q.12.5)
Unfortunately, war impacts the lower-class "kerns" way more than it does the high and mighty knights. King Lot thinks things are going to go along like they usually do—but Arthur's about to unleash some warfare of the social justice variety on his foe.
