And then Dame Lionesse, and the damosel Linet with Sir Gringamore, rode
to their castle; and a goodly and a rich ring she gave to Sir Gareth,
and he gave her another. And King Arthur gave her a rich pair of bee of
gold; and so she departed.
And King Arthur and his fellowship rode toward Kink Kenadon, and Sir
Gareth brought his lady on the way, and so came to the king again and
rode with him.
Lord! the great cheer that Sir Launcelot made of Sir Gareth and he of
him, for there was never no knight that Sir Gareth loved so well as he
did Sir Launcelot; and ever for the most part he would be in Sir
Launcelot’s company; for after Sir Gareth had espied Sir Gawaine’s
conditions, he withdrew himself from his brother, Sir Gawaine’s,
fellowship, for he was vengeable, and where he hated he would be
avenged with murder, and that hated Sir Gareth.
CHAPTER XXXV. Of the Great Royalty, and what officers were made at the
feast of the wedding, and of the jousts at the feast.
So it drew fast to Michaelmas; and thither came Dame Lionesse, the lady
of the Castle Perilous, and her sister, Dame Linet, with Sir
Gringamore, her brother, with them for he had the conduct of these
ladies. And there they were lodged at the device of King Arthur. And
upon Michaelmas Day the Bishop of Canterbury made the wedding betwixt
Sir Gareth and the Lady Lionesse with great solemnity. And King Arthur
made Gaheris to wed the Damosel Savage, that was Dame Linet; and King
Arthur made Sir Agravaine to wed Dame Lionesse’s niece, a fair lady,
her name was Dame Laurel.
