Its argument. here is the passage.
Lord Evroc was a valiant and a mighty warrior, ever battling against the hated pagans, when their
bands of blue-eyed fierce fighters landed on his coasts. And when peace was on the land, he went
about on errantry, jousting in tournaments and fighting champions.
His six elder sons did likewise, and all were famed for their knightly prowess.
But the mother sat at home, sad of mood. For she hated war, and would rather have had her lord and
her six tall sons about her in the home. And in her heart she resolved that she would plead with Evroc
to let her have her little son Perceval to be a clerk or a learned bard, so that he should stay at home
with her and run no risk of death.
There is no counterargument, just an argument.
