Alas, for his goodness and for his good deeds this gentle Prince Boudwin was slain.

So when he came with his wife Anglides, the king made them fair semblant till they had dined.
And when they had dined King Mark sent for his brother and said thus: Brother, how sped you when the miscreants arrived by you?
meseemeth it had been your part to have sent me word, that I might have been at that journey, for it had been reason that I had had the honour and not you.
Sir, said the Prince Boudwin, it was so that an I had tarried till that I had sent for you those miscreants had destroyed my country.

Thou liest, false traitor, said King Mark, for thou art ever about for to win worship from me, and put me to dishonour, and thou cherishest that I hate.

And therewith he struck him to the heart with a dagger, that he never after spake word.

Then the Lady Anglides made great dole, and swooned, for she saw her lord slain afore her face.
