How Sir Tristram did justice in the island, and thereby1 released Sir Lamorack from captivity2. Also how Sir Tristram and Sir Lamorack renewed their great tenderness toward one another.
Now after Sir Tristram had overcome Sir Nabon le Noir, and had slain3 the son of Sir Nabon as has been just told, he went straightway to the castle that had been Sir Nabon's, and commanded that they should bring forth4 the seneschal and the officers thereof unto him. Meantime, being a little wounded in that battle, he sat himself down upon a bench of wood that stood in the hall of the castle, and there he held his court.
So, in a little while, there came the seneschal and several of the officers of the household to where Sir Tristram was, and when the seneschal came before Sir Tristram, he fell down upon his knees and besought5 pardon and mercy.
Sir Tristram talks with the castle help.
Then Sir Tristram said: "I will consider thy case anon, and if I may assure myself that thou and these others are truly repentant6, and if I may have assurity that ye will henceforth be faithful in your duty toward that lady who is now again the mistress of this castle and land, then I shall have mercy. But if ye show yourselves recreant7 and treacherous8, according to the manners of this Sir Nabon who is dead, then I shall of a surety return hither and shall punish you even as ye beheld9 me punish that wicked knight10 and his young son."
