Sir Launcelot
got the news about the
Queen Guenevere
and took off as fast he could.
Sir Launcelot
took the water to
Westminster Bridge;
his horse had to swim across the
Thames
into the
Lambeth.
Sir Launcelot traveled for awhile until he came upon the spot where the
Queen’s knights and
Sir
Meliagrance
battled over Guenevere.
He came upon some of
Sir Meliagrance’s
men. They told him, he had to get rid
of his horse if he wanted to continue on.
Sir Launcelot argued with them until they got fed up with him, and stabbed
his horse. After the knights impaled
Sir Launcelot’s
horse, he went on foot and spotted a
chariot with two carters
in it.
Sir Launcelot
asked the
carters if they would give
him a ride to Sir Meliagrance's castle. It was only a couple of miles away.
The carter said there was no way he would help him.
Sir Lancelot
got mad and jumped on the
carter and killed him, then dropped his body on the ground. The other
carter was afraid that
Sir
Launcelot
was going to kill him. The
carter
pleaded with him and asked to spare his life, if he did the carter would
help him get to the castle.
Queen Guenevere
was waiting in a bay window with her ladies in waiting. One of the ladies
spied a knight in a chariot with a horse following after it. She told the
queen to look, and she did,
Guenevere found that it
was
Sir Launcelot. His horse
was walking with its guts hanging out of its stomach.
Sir
Launcelot came to
the gates of the castle and called out to
Sir
Meliagrance.
He yelled, "Come out, you traitor knight," and fight me.
