ARGUMENT.
The third book opens with the introduction of a new character,
Mandricardo, son of Agrican, the Tartar king, who, pursuing his
way to France in order to avenge his father's death, is made the
prisoner of a fairy. He frees himself, acquires the arms of
Hector, and is, as well as other knights, involved in various
adventures, till the story returns to the invasion of France,
which is suddenly interrupted in the middle.
