After a knight learns that one of these objects he had previously been told not to ask questions about belonged to his deceased cousin, that knight, Peredur, assists Arthur in slaying the nine sorceresses. After the enchanter Eliavres magically replaces one of these objects, he reveals that he is the natural father of Caradoc. In the third of the Unfortunate Disclosures, King Arthur egotistically unearths one of these objects that was (*) buried on the White Hill to protect England. In Bricriu’s (10[1])Feast, Cú Chulainn (koo KULL-in) wins the “champion’s portion” by bravely offering (10[1])this object to a visiting giant, in the first instance of a trope in Celtic myth involving a game of severing these objects. For (10[1])10 points, what object (10[1])is (10[1])shockingly picked up by the Green Knight after (10[1])Gawain cleanly strikes his neck? ■END■
