England / Belgium: Le Morte d'Arthur ('the Death of Arthur'), Giovanni Boccaccio, De casibus virorum illustrium, Bruges, c. 1490

At the Battle of Camlann, Arthur charges Mordred and impales him with a spear. But with the last of his strength, Mordred impales himself even further, so as to come within striking distance of King Arthur, then gives a mortal blow to Arthur's head.
