Answer:

Idealization of chivalry, imaginary qualities, mystery, the quest, suspense and magic are the elements of the medieval romance that has been depicted in Morte D’Arthur.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the medieval elements is idealization of chivalry as in, ”the noble knights,” then mystery and suspense in the phrase “near night”. Imagination and quest can be seen in the whole poem and not just in this bolded extract.

“A hundred thousand laid dead upon”, is yet another example of medieval romance invoking the imaginary quality of the readers.
