crowned him king of all King Claudas'lands;and Sir Ector de Maris,that was Sir Launcelot's youngest brother,he crowned him King of Benwick,and king of all Guienne,that was Sir Launcelot's own land.And he made Sir Ector prince of them all,and thus he departed.

Then Sir Launcelot advanced all his noble knights,and first he advanced them of his blood;that was Sir Blamore,he made him Duke of Limosin in Guienne and Sir Bleoberis he made him Duke of Poictiers,and Sir Gahalantine he made him Duke of Querne,and Sir Galihodin he made him Duke of Sentonge,and Sir Galihud he made him Earl of Perigot,and Sir Menadeuke he made him Earl of Roerge,and Sir Villiars the Valiant he made him Earl of Bearn,and Sir Hebes le Renoumes he made him Earl of Comange,and Sir Lavaine he made him Earl of Arminak,and Sir Urre he made him Earl of Estrake,and Sir Neroneus he made him Earl of Pardiak,and Sir Plenorius he made Earl of Foise,and Sir Selises of the Dolorous Tower he made him Earl of Masauke,and Sir Melias de Lile he made him Earl of Tursauk,and Sir Bellangere le Beuse he made Earl of the Launds,and Sir Palomides he made him Duke of the Provence,and Sir Safere he made him Duke of Landok,and Sir Clegis he gave him the Earldom of Agente,and Sir Sadok he gave the Earldom of Surlat,and Sir Dinas le Seneschal he made him Duke of Anjou,and Sir Clarrus he made him Duke of Normandy.Thus Sir Launcelot rewarded his noble knights and many more,that meseemeth it were too long to rehearse.

CHAPTER XIX

How King Arthur and Sir Gawaine made a great host ready to go over sea to make war on Sir Launcelot SO leave we Sir Launcelot in his lands,and his noble knights with him,and return we again unto King Arthur and to Sir Gawaine,that made a great host ready,to the number of threescore thousand;and all thing was made ready for their shipping to pass over the sea,and so they shipped at Cardiff.And there King Arthur made Sir Mordred chief ruler of all England,and also he put Queen Guenever under his governance;because Sir Mordred was King Arthur's son,he gave him the rule of his land and of his wife;and so the king passed the sea and landed upon Sir Launcelot's lands,and there he brent and wasted,through the vengeance of Sir Gawaine,all that they might overrun.

When this word came to Sir Launcelot,that King Arthur and Sir Gawaine were landed upon his lands,and made a full great destruction and waste,then spake Sir Bors,and said:My lord Sir Launcelot,it is shame that we suffer them thus to ride over our lands,for wit you well,suffer ye them as long as ye will,they will do you no favour an they may handle you.Then said Sir Lionel that was wary and wise:My lord Sir Launcelot,I will give this counsel,let us keep our strong walled towns until they have hunger and cold,and blow on their nails;and then let us freshly set upon them,and shred them down as sheep in a field,that aliens may take example for ever how they land upon our lands.

Then spake King Bagdemagus to Sir Launcelot:Sir,your courtesy will shende us all,and thy courtesy hath waked all this sorrow;for an they thus over our lands ride,they shall by process bring us all to nought whilst we thus in holes us hide.Then said Sir Galihud unto Sir Launcelot:Sir,here be knights come of kings'blood,that will not long droop,and they are within these walls;therefore give us leave,like as we be knights,to meet them in the field,and we shall slay them,that they shall curse the time that ever they came into this country.

Then spake seven brethren of North Wales,and they were seven noble knights;a man might seek in seven kings'lands or he might find such seven knights.Then they all said at once:Sir Launcelot,for Christ's sake let us out ride with Sir Galihud,for we be never wont to cower in castles nor in noble towns.

Then spake Sir Launcelot,that was master and governor of them all:My fair lords,wit you well Iam full loath to ride out with my knights for shedding of Christian blood;and yet my lands I understand be full bare for to sustain any host awhile,for the mighty wars that whilom made King Claudas upon this country,upon my father King Ban,and on mine uncle King Bors;howbeit we will as at this time keep our strong walls,and I shall send a messenger unto my lord Arthur,a treaty for to take;for better is peace than always war.

So Sir Launcelot sent forth a damosel and a dwarf with her,requiring King Arthur to leave his warring upon his lands;and so she start upon a palfrey,and the dwarf ran by her side.And when she came to the pavilion of King Arthur,there she alighted;and there met her a gentle knight,Sir Lucan the Butler,and said:

Fair damosel,come ye from Sir Launcelot du Lake?

Yea sir,she said,therefore I come hither to speak with my lord the king.Alas,said Sir Lucan,my lord Arthur would love Launcelot,but Sir Gawaine will not suffer him.And then he said:I pray to God,damosel,ye may speed well,for all we that be about the king would Sir Launcelot did best of any knight living.And so with this Lucan led the damosel unto the king where he sat with Sir Gawaine,for to hear what she would say.So when she had told her tale,the water ran out of the king's eyen,and all the lords were full glad for to advise the king as to be accorded with Sir Launcelot,save all only Sir Gawaine,and he said:My lord mine uncle,what will ye do?Will ye now turn again,now ye are passed thus far upon this journey?all the world will speak of your villainy.Nay,said Arthur,wit thou well,Sir Gawaine,I will do as ye will advise me;and yet meseemeth,said Arthur,his fair proffers were not good to be refused;but sithen I am come so far upon this journey,I will that ye give the damosel her answer,for I may not speak to her for pity,for her proffers be so large.
