hat discourse," said Gwenhwyvar, "do I hear between
you? Is it of those who are to conduct Geraint to his country?" "It
is," said Arthur. "Then is it needful for me to consider," said she,
"concerning companions and a provision for the lady that is with me?"
"Thou wilt do well," said Arthur.

And that night they went to sleep. And the next day the ambassadors were
permitted to depart, and they were told that Geraint should follow them.
And on the third day Geraint set forth, and many went with him. Gwalchmai
the son of Gwyar, and Riogonedd the son of the king of Ireland, and
Ondyaw the son of the duke of Burgandy, Gwilim the son of the ruler of
the Franks, Howel the son of Emyr of Brittany, Elivry, and Nawkyrd, Gwynn
the son of Tringad, Goreu the son of Custennin, Gweir Gwrhyd Vawr,

will do this gladly, Lord." Then she permitted Edeyrn freely to depart.
And many there were who accompanied Geraint, and they set forth; and
never was there seen a fairer host journeying towards the Severn. And on
the other side of the Severn were the nobles of Erbin the son of
Custennin, and his foster father at their head, to welcome Geraint with
gladness; and many of the women of the Court, with his mother, came to
receive Enid the daughter of Ynywl, his wife. And there was great
rejoicing and gladness throughout the whole Court, and throughout all the
country, concerning Geraint, because of the greatness of their love
towards him, and of the greatness of the fame which he had gained since
he went from amongst them, and because he was come to take possession of
his dominions, and to preserve his
