Briant's people were not able to succour their lord. Nay, rather, they
drew back on all sides, for the stout had lasted of a long space. So
they tended the dead and the wounded, of whom were enough on one side
and the other. King Arthur made carry Briant of the Isles to Cardoil,
and bring along the other knights that his own knights had taken.
Right joyous were the folks at Cardoil when the King came back. They
bore Meliant of the Waste Manor on his shield to the Hard Rock, but he
scarce lived after. The King made Briant of the Isles be healed, and
held him in prison of a long while, until Briant gave him surety of all
his lands and became his man. The King made him Seneschal of all his
lands, and Briant served him right well.
