Lancelot is entered into the castle of Cardoil, and his wounded knights
withal, and findeth the folk in sore dismay. Great dole make they in
many places and much lamentation for King Arthur, and say that now
nevermore may they look for succeur to none, and he be dead and Messire
Gawain. But they give Lancelot joy of that he hath rescued Messire
Ywain li Aoutres, and were so somewhat comforted and made great cheer.
The tidings thereof came to the knights that were in the castle, and
they all come forward to meet him save they that were wounded, and so
led him up to the castle, and Messire Ywain with him and the other
knight that was wounded. All the knights of the castle were right
glad, and ask him tidings of King Arthur, and whether he were dead or
no. And Lancelot telleth them that he was departed from him at the
Palace Meadow, where he won the white destrier and the crown of gold
there where the tidings were brought to him that Queen Guinievre was
dead.
