Quadragante replied, you are of that rank that you may say
what pleases you, but sure am I that you will not move Amadis with
mischief-making words as others have been moved, who will discover
their error when too late. Then Landin came up and said, Sir, of all
your household I could find no help or healing for my wounds save
only from Amadis, therefore shall I go with him and with my uncle Don
Quadragante. Certes, quoth Lisuarte, if you staid I should not have a
friend the more. Landin replied, such as they are towards you will I
be. At this time were assembled together in another part of the palace,
Don Brian of Monjaste, a right good Knight, who was son of King Ladasan
of Spain and of a sister of King Perion, and Gandal, and Orlandin, son
to the Count of Orlanda, and Grandores, and Madancil, he of the Silver
Bridge, and Listoran of the White Tower, and Ladadin of Fajarque,
and Branfiles the haughty, and Don Gavarte of the Perilous Vale; and
when they saw how all those other Knights were about to depart for
the love of Amadis, they also went before the King and said, Sir, we
came to your court to see Amadis and his brethren, and to obtain his
friendship, and as he was the cause of our coming so will he be of our
departure. These Knights having departed, and there remaining no other,
Amadis would have taken leave of the Queen but Lisuarte would not
permit him, because she had always opposed this quarrel, so he sent his
excuses by Don Grumedan. Then went he to his lodging, and after they
had made their meal they all mounted being fully armed, five hundred
Knights were they in all who followed Amadis, among whom were the sons
of Kings and of Counts, and others, who for their prowess as well as
birth, were renowned throughout all the world.
