	Visionary Rewards
		, Arthur and Bedivere receive their appropriate rewards: the three Queens and their mysterious host convey the King to Avilion, while the knight, who must remain behind, is granted first the sight of the magical vessel, then the comfort of Arthur's words, and finally the vision with which Tennyson ends the poem.
		Bedivere, who rightly feels himself the last survivor of an heroic age, wants to be assured that life has still meaning.
		This, then, is Bedivere's first reward for obeying his king, and Tennyson uses it to point out the intimate relation that obtains between moral action and belief: by keeping faith with Arthur, his knight becomes able to receive faith.

	Summary of Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur Book 21
		As Arthur and Mordred (each flanked by an honour guard of fourteen) met to bargain on the field between their hosts, an adder bit a knight on the foot, and as he drew his sword to kill it, the worst was assumed, and soon the Battle of Salisbury (Arthur's eleventh and last) had accidentally started.
		Realising that his own end was near, Arthur commanded Bedivere to throw Excalibur into a nearby lake, but out of regard for the unique value of the sword, Bedivere twice hid it and lied, but could only say that he had seen it sink, so Arthur was not fooled.
		Driven by Arthur's curses, at last Bedivere did as he was told, and thus could report back how he had seen a hand rise from the water, catch it, shake it thrice, brandish it, then pull it down.
