Editing Red Knight (section)

===''Le Morte d'Arthur''===
Two different Red Knights appear in the tale of [[Gareth]] in [[Thomas Malory]]'s ''[[Le Morte d'Arthur]]''. 

* The first of them is named '''Sir Perimones''' and is also known as "The [[Puce]] Knight", who, like his three brothers the Black Knight, Sir Partolope the "Green Knight" (distinct from the character in ''[[Sir Gawain and the Green Knight]]''), and Sir Persant of Inde "The Blue Knight", is bested by the young Gareth.
* After these initial trials, Gareth must face the '''Red Knight of the Red Launds''', whose real identity is '''Sir Ironside'''. Ironside has the strength of seven men and has trapped the princess of [[Lyonesse]] in a tower from which Gareth must save her. Though he had demonstrated a cruel and sadistic nature, Ironside is brought to Arthur's court and even made a Knight of the [[Round Table]].
