Morgan le Fay "espied [her husband] King Uriens lying in his bed sleeping. Then she called unto her a maiden of her counsel, and said, 'Go fetch me my lord’s sword, for I saw never better time to slay him than now.'"
- Thomas Malory, "Le Morte d'Arthur"

The figure of Dagonet appeared in various Arthurian stories as either a cowardly buffoon or a violent lunatic until Thomas Malory codified him as King Arthur's court jester, who was so loyal that Arthur knighted him, and who loves to play pranks on Arthur's enemies.

"Meanwhile, Morgan le Fay had guessed King Arthur had been killed [by her lover Accolon]. She called to one of her maidens, and said, 'Go fetch me my lord’s sword, for I saw never better time to slay [my husband] than now.'"

@profchander is right - this is addictive

I had completely forgotten that the past tense of "go" in the Middle English of Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur was occasionally not "went" but rather "yede": eg, "the knight yede away on his horse."

Only a small step from there to "the knight yeeted away"... :P
