When Gandandel and Brocadan saw this, who
till now had hoped that the valour of their sons might have defended
their wickedness they withdrew from the window in great sorrow and pain
of heart, and the King withdrew also, for all the good fortune which
befell the friends of Amadis displeased him, and he would not witness
the victory of Angriote. But all else who were present rejoiced to see
that Gandandel and Brocadan would suffer some part of the punishment on
earth which they deserved. The four Knights meantime continued their
fierce conflict, but it did not long endure, for now Tarin and Corian
gave ground and fled, seeking some place of safety, but finding none
they turned, and struck again at their pursuers and then again fled,
till they were smitten down and slain to the great joy of Madasima
and her Damsels, and the Knights of the Firm Island, but above all of
Oriana, who had never ceased praying to God to grant her friends that
victory. Angriote then asked the Judges if there was aught more to be
done? they replied, he had done enough for his honour, and led the two
champions from the lists; their comrades then received and took them
with Madasima to their tents where they were healed of their wounds.
