sendal

Generous Sir Belleus, who had borne no grudge for having his liver cut open on that distant evening beside the pavilion of red sendal, was making a horrible noise by blowing on a grass blade held edgewise between his thumbs.

In the evening they stumbled on a pavilion of red sendal, with nobody inside.

The bed was a sumptuous one with a coverlet of red sendal, to match the tent Lancelot rolled himself in it, pressed his nose into the silk pillow, kissed it to Guenever, and was fast asleep.

With the wreath may be considered the mantle, a hanging cloth which, in its earliest form, is seen as two strips of silk or sendal attached to the top of the helm below the crest and streaming like pennants as the rider bent his head and charged.

Sendal, sen′dal, n. a thin silk or linen.
