ess or foulness I shall bring him to this court, or
else I shall die therefore. And the names of these ten knights that had
undertaken this quest were these following: First was Sir Launcelot,
Sir Ector de Maris, Sir Bors de Ganis, and Bleoberis, and Sir Blamore
de Ganis, and Lucan the Butler, Sir Uwaine, Sir Galihud Lionel, and
Galiodin. So these ten noble knights departed from the court of King
Arthur, and so they rode upon their quest together until they came to
a cross where departed four ways, and there departed the fellowship in
four to seek Sir Tristram.

And as Sir Launcelot rode by adventure he met with Dame Bragwaine that
was sent into that country to seek Sir Tristram, and she fled as fast
as her palfrey might go. So Sir Launcelot met with her and asked her why
she fled. Ah, fair knight, said Dame Bragwaine, I flee for dread of my
life, for here followeth me Sir Breuse Saunce Pite to slay me. Hold
you nigh me, said Sir Launcelot. Then when Sir Launcelot saw Sir Breuse
Saunce Pite, Sir Launcelot cried unto him, and said: False knight
destroyer of ladies and damosels, now thy last days be come. When Sir
Breuse Saunce Pite saw Sir Launcelot's shield he knew it well, for at
that time he bare not the arms of Cornwall, but he bare his own shield.
And then Sir Breuse fled, and Sir Launcelot followed after him. But Sir
Breuse was so well horsed that when him list to flee he might well flee,
and also abide when him list. And then Sir Launcelot returned unto Dame
Bragwaine, and she thanked him of his great labour.

CHAPTER XXXVII. How Sir Tristram, Sir Palomides, and Sir Dinadan were
taken and put in prison.

NOW will we speak of Sir Lucan the butler, that by fortune he came
riding to the same place thereas was Sir Tristram, and in he came in
none other intent but to ask harbour. Then the porter asked what was his
name. Tell your lord that my name is Sir Lucan, the butler, a Knight of
the Round Table. So the porter went unto Sir Darras, lord of the place,
and told him who was there to ask harbour. Nay, nay, said Sir Daname,
that was nephew to Sir Darras, say him that he shall not be lodged here,
but let him wit that I, Sir Daname, will meet with him anon, and bid him
make him ready. So Sir Daname came forth on horseback, and there they
met together with spears, and Sir Lucan smote down Sir Daname over his
horse's croup, and then he fled into that place, and Sir Lucan rode
after him, and asked after him many times
