6. Crystyabelle is driven away into Egypt, where she is graciously received by the king. Desonelle finds refuge in the court of the king of Nazareth. 7. Degrabelle, the son of Crystyabelle, is saved and brought up by the king of Israel; the sons of Desonelle by the kings of Greece and Jerusalem. 8. The father of Crystyabelle is not punished like Calamond in _Torrent_, immediately after the hero’s return, but he dies at the end of the poem, throwing himself down from the battlements. 9. Degrabelle is sent, when fifteen years old, into Egypt by his adoptive father to sue for a spouse. In a joust he gains the hand of his mother and marries her. On the very wedding-day the mother recognizes her son by his escutcheon, and the marriage is instantly dissolved. Quite differently does the story run in _Sir Torrent_. Leobertus, fifteen years old, marches by order of the king of Jerusalem against his father, and takes him prisoner, but at length solicits his release. 10. The tournament, which in both poems compasses the reunion of the separated family, is brought on in a different manner. In _Eglamour_ Degrabelle himself proposes the hand of his mother as the prize in the next tournament, to which his father comes. In _Torrent_ Desonelle, hearing of the victories of the strange knight, supposes him to be her spouse from his arms, and at her request a tournament is arranged. (Her hand seems to have been likewise the prize, as may be gleaned from l. 2440.) 11. At the very end of the poems two slight differences are to be noted: in _Eglamour_, Degrabelle marries Organata, daughter of the king of Sidon, whereas the sons of Torrent return into Greece and Jerusalem. Eglamour is crowned prince of Artois; Torrent is elected Emperor of Rome. From this comparison we may conclude that _Torrent_ is not directly founded upon _Eglamour_, or _vice versâ_; the differences are too great to justify the supposition that either is drawn from the other. Especially is the opinion of Halliwell, which I mentioned above, to be rejected: _Sir Torrent_ cannot be founded on _Sir Eglamour_, simply because it agrees more closely with the old legendary tale than _Syr Eglamour_ does, and has preserved some essential features not to be found in _Eglamour_, in which these are supplanted by others. Desonelle, for instance, has two children according to the old legend, Crystyabelle one; Torrent must fight and suffer in heathen lands like Eustache, whereas Eglamour appears as a mere knight-errant. Further, neither in the Eustache legend nor in _Torrent_ do we find the history of the son who marries his mother, which motive the poet may have taken from the legend of Pope Gregory, or perhaps from the tale of _Syr Degaré_.
