Finding her rage thus put to naught, she ran to King Anguish, and threw herself on her knees before
him, crying out:
'Oh, my lord and husband, here have ye in your house that traitor knight that slew my brother. My
brother was Sir Marhaus. Sir Marhaus, your champion and noble knight. It is Sir Tramor, as he
falsely calleth himself, but the piece of steel that was taken from my brother's brain fits a notch in his
sword.'
'Alas,' cried King Anguish, 'then am I right heavy, for he is as full noble a knight as ever I knew; and
I charge ye, have not to do with him, but let me deal in this matter.'
The king went to Sir Tristram and found him fully armed, as if ready to fight for his life, for he knew
that now the truth had been discovered.
