There Huon arrived just in time to win, at the point of his lance, his patrimony of Guienne, which Charlemagne had offered as prize at a tournament.

Bending low before his monarch, the young hero then revealed his name, presented his wife, gave him the golden casket containing the lock of hair and the four teeth, and said that he had accomplished his quest.
"Our hero lifts the helmet from his head; And boldly ent'ring, like the god of day, His golden ringlets down his armor play.
All, wond'ring, greet the youth long mourn'd as dead, Before the king his spirit seems to stand! Sir Huon with Amanda, hand in hand, Salutes the emperor with respectful bow-- 'Behold, obedient to his plighted vow, Thy vassal, sovereign liege, returning to thy land! "'For by the help of Heaven this arm has done What thou enjoin'dst--and lo! before thine eye The beard and teeth of Asia's monarch lie, At hazard of my life, to please thee, won; And in this fair, by every peril tried, The heiress of his throne, my love, my bride!' He spoke; and lo! at once her knight to grace, Off falls the veil that hid Amanda's face, And a new radiance gilds the hall from side to side." WIELAND, _Oberon_ (Sotheby's tr.).
The young couple, entirely restored to favor, sojourned a short time at court and then traveled southward to Guienne, where their subjects received them with every demonstration of extravagant joy.

Here they spent the remainder of their lives together in happiness and comparative peace.
[Sidenote: An earlier version of the story.] According to an earlier version of the story, Esclarmonde, whom the pirates intended to convey to the court of her uncle, Yvoirin of Montbrand, was wrecked near the palace of Galafre, King of Tunis, who respected her vow of chastity but obstinately refused to give her up to her uncle when he claimed her.

Huon, delivered from his fetters on the island, was borne by Malebron, Oberon's servant, to Yvoirin's court, where he immediately offered himself as champion to defy Galafre and win back his beloved wife at the point of the sword.

No sooner did Huon appear in martial array at Tunis than Galafre selected Sherasmin (who had also been shipwrecked off his coast, and had thus become his slave) as his champion.
