Hi all
Just looking for an explanation/verification of
16a (4) Heavily beat knight round back of armour _R_B

I have DRUB (heavily beat) with the 'RU' from the last two letters of armour.. But where does the knight come in? And is this right?
Thanks!

When someone is knighted they are dubbed. That's where you get the dub from.
