King Arthur and the two kings Ban and Bors go oversea and sent out seven hundred knights in two groups.  On the other side there still three hundred knights from the kingdoms of Benwick and of Gaul. So both the English and the French Knights readied for battle and armored up. The first to fight was Griflet and he met with the knight named Laninas. Both sides are looking to see which side will take control first. But the two knights fought, until their shields fell to pieces and both men fell off their horse to the ground and could fight no more. They lain there so long that all the other men thought they both were dead. After all this happened Lucas the butler helps Griflet got back up on his horse and they fought together with their men. Then Sir Kay comes out to fight with five other men so the six of them did a good thing to help the rest of their knights. Sir Kay did the best that day out of all the men. Then came the two French knights, Landinas and Gracians, and they did so well that all the men praised them that day.

 Then came a good knight, Sir Placidas , to fight Sir Kay. As he hit Sir Kay, he knocked him off his horse. Sir Griflet was mad and hit Sir Placidas so hard that he and his horse fell to the ground. When five of Sir Kay’s knights heard about him being knocked down they came to the rescue. When Kings Arthur, Ban and Bors heard about this, their ponies to go and break the battle up. After the battle was broken up all the night went home to pray and have supper, then, the three kings went into the garden to give Sir Kay, Lucas the butler, and Sir Griflet their prizes for winning the battle. Then the small group went into council, and after they went to bed.

            After the knights woke up and had their morning meal and prayed them all got jobs assigned to them.  So they said that Merlin should go with a token from King Ban which was a ring,. They send Gracian and Placidas back to their counties to protect their castles again in the name of their dread king, King Claudas.  So once they all got there the people were glad to see them. They started to get their army ready.  Merlin had fifteen thousand men on horse and foot, while Gracian and Placidas were left to furnish and garnish the castles for King Claudas. After Merlin passes the sea, well victualled by water and land, when he got to the sea he sent home the footmen, and only took no more than ten thousand men on horseback. So the men on horseback passed the sea going into England, and the land of Dover, trying to get to the forest of Bedegraine. Once they got there they founded a valley were the hide secretly in.

            When King Arthur and the other two kings got there Merlin showed up and they were wondering how he got there so fast because it took them a day and a night. Merlin told them about 10,000 men waiting in Bedegraine, and how they were armed. So the kings went back and got 20,000 men and armed them up, so that no man or enemy could get pass the trend water unless they had a token from King Arthur.
