Note 12 — Chapter VIII

Edgar Taylor translation

'Tales togeder thei told, ilk on a good palfray.' Robert Brunne's Chronicle, quoted in Thierry, i. 250. Benoit de Sainte-More says of this part of the story,

Od que li Dux out jostées, Mult granz e mult desmesurées: Por aller essilier Bretons, Vers lui torcenos e felons Qui n'el deignoient sopleier, Le mena od sei osteier; Là fist de lui si grant cherté C'unc tant n'out de sa volunté, Ne fu nul leu mais tant joiz Qu'il cil afaires fu feniz.
