Gawaine to the earth, horse and all; and in the same wise he served
Uwaine, Sir Dodinas, and Sagramore. All these four knights Sir Palomides
smote down with divers spears And then Sir Tristram departed toward
Lonazep.

And when they were departed then came thither Galihodin with his ten
knights unto Sir Gawaine, and there he told him all how he had sped. I
marvel, said Sir Gawaine, what knights they be, that are so arrayed
in green. And that knight upon the white horse smote me down, said
Galihodin, and my three fellows. And so he did to me, said Gawaine; and
well I wot, said Sir Gawaine, that either he upon the white horse is Sir
Tristram or else Sir Palomides, and that gay beseen lady is Queen Isoud.
Thus they talked of one thing and of other.

And in the meanwhile Sir Tristram passed on till that he came to the
well where his two pavilions were set; and there they alighted, and
there they saw many pavilions and great array. Then Sir Tristram left
there Sir Palomides and Sir Gareth with La Beale Isoud, and Sir Tristram
and Sir Dinadan rode to Lonazep to hearken tidings; and Sir Tristram
rode upon Sir Palomides' white horse. And when he came into the castle
Sir Dinadan heard a great horn blow, and to the horn drew many knights.
Then Sir Tristram asked a knight: What meaneth the blast of that horn?
Sir, said that knight, it is all those that shall hold against King
Arthur at this tournament. The first is the King of Ireland, and the
King of Surluse, the King of Listinoise, the King of Northumberland, and
the King of the best part of Wales, with many other countries. And these
draw them to a council, to understand what governance they shall be of;
but the King of Ireland, whose name was Marhalt, and father to the good
knight Sir Marhaus that Sir Tristram slew, had all the speech that
Sir Tristram might hear it. He said: Lords and fellows, let us look to
ourself, for wit ye well King Arthur is sure of many good knights, or
else he would not with so few knights have ado with us; therefore by my
counsel let every king have a standard and a cognisance by himself, that
every knight draw to their natural lord, and then may every king and
captain help his knights if they have need. When Sir Tristram had heard
all their counsel he rode unto King Arthur for to hear of his counsel.
