The history saith that he gave Lancelot forty knights in charge, and
that he is come into an island where King Madeglant was. Or ever he
knew of his coming, Lancelot had cut off his retreat, for he cut his
cables and beat his anchors to pieces and broke up his ships. After
that, he struck among the people of Madeglant, and slew as many of them
as he would, he and his knights. The King thought to withdraw him
back, both him and his fellowship, into safety as he wont, but he found
himself right ill bested. Lancelot drove him toward the sea, whither he
fled, but only to find himself no less discomfit there, and slew him in
the midst of his folk, and all his other knights were slain and cast
into the sea. This island was freed of him by Lancelot, and from
thence he went to the other islands that Madeglant had conquered and
set again under the false Law, and there did away the false Law from
them that had been set thereunder by fear of death, and stablished the
land in such sort as it had been tofore. He roved so long from one
island to another that presently he came to Albanie where he had
succoured them at first.
