[See [http://www.pcug.org.au/~ronwells/700-9.htm p. 700-709 of Ancient Ancestors with Modern Descendants, 7th Ed., by Ronald Wells] ]
At a banquet in Edinburgh and presumably after too much alcohol he issued, as Champion of England, the following challenge to David Lindsay (later 1st Earl of Crawford): “Let words have no place; if ye know not the Chivalry and Valiant deeds of Englishmen; appoint me a day and a place where ye list, and ye shall have experience.” [See [http://www.pcug.org.au/~ronwells/700-9.htm p. 700-709 of Ancient Ancestors with Modern Descendants, 7th Ed., by Ronald Wells] ] As a result of the challenge, on St George’s Day, 23rd April 1390 [See [http://www.pcug.org.au/~ronwells/400-9.htm p. 400-409 of Ancient Ancestors with Modern Descendants, 7th Ed., by Ronald Wells] ] , he fought David Lindsay in mock combat on horseback on London Bridge, losing the match by falling from his horse in their third charge against each other.
