When the knights of the temple had been summoned, and had all perused the divine command, they began to consider where a suitable helpmate could be found for their beloved king.

They soon advised him to woe Richoude, the daughter of a Spaniard.

An imposing embassy was sent to the maiden, who, being piously inclined, immediately consented to the marriage.
Richoude was a faithful wife for twenty years, and when she died she left two children,--a son, Frimoutel, and a daughter, Richoude,--to comfort the sorrowing Titurel for her loss.

These children both married in their turn, and Frimoutel had two sons, Amfortas and Trevrezent, and three daughters, Herzeloide, Josiane, and Repanse de Joie.

As these children grew up, Titurel became too old to bear the weight of his armor, and spent all his days in the temple, where he finally read on the Holy Grail a command to anoint Frimoutel king.
