* Sagramour is a walking [=CMoA=]. At one point, when an alliance with Cerdic, a notoriously treacherous Saxon king is proposed by Meurig, a Prince who seems to permanently hold the IdiotBall, he states that he will not make peace with Cerdic. When the Prince tries again, he delivers a DeathGlare and repeats the same thing, as if talking to a child. Meurig retreats into stammering silence.

* The entire Battle of Mynydd Baddon, but the highlight is probably Derfel charging into a hastily prepared Saxon shieldwall ahead of his men and brutally tearing through it by himself before his men catch up and simply make the rest of the shieldwall disappear.

* Arthur standing for the survivor of the Moors Massacre in a trail by combat against Owain
* Derfel has had his fair share and then some. He has some notable victories is duels, which include very cleverly utilizing his [[ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks shield as a thrown weapon]] and defeating the Saxon champion and professional duelist [[FragileSpeedster Liofa]] by breaking Liofa's sword. Then there are other ones too like managing to rescue Nimue from the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Isle of the Dead]], and so on.
** The duel with Liofa deserves special mention for being a spectacular case of AwesomenessByAnalysis and NervesOfSteel. In the midst of a fight for his life, while fending off an extremly dangerous opponent, Derfel manages to notice the weakness of his opponent's weapon and devise a strategy to exploit it. And while sparing Liofa might be a case of NiceJobBreakingItHero, it does show that for all his love of combat Derfel is a fundamentally decent person.

* Derfel in almost every fight he gets into. It goes understated in the series due to Derfel being rather humble and doesn't like to brag about his achievements but he repeatedly takes on enemy champions and breaks shieldwalls

* Near the very end of the series, Culhwch gets a truly awesome moment. He walks out in between two armies who are facing off and challenges anyone from the enemy army to make a name for themselves by killing him in one-on-one combat. When no one takes him up on it, he taunts ''the entire army'' about their cowardice in refusing to fight an old man. As he turns his back, one spearman does try to backstab him, but Culhwch effortlessly guts the poor bastard, waits a few minutes to see if anyone else wants to give it a try, then returns to his place in the shield wall. Awesome.
