So then Alisander made both those knights to swear to wear none armour in a twelvemonth and a day.
Then Sir Alisander alighted down, and went to rest him and repose him.
Then the damosel that helped Sir Alisander out of the castle, in her play told Alice all together how he was prisoner in the castle of La Beale Regard, and there she told her how she got him out of prison.

Sir, said Alice la Beale Pilgrim, meseemeth ye are much beholding to this maiden.

That is truth, said Sir Alisander.

And there Alice told him of what blood she was come.

Sir, wit ye well, she said, that I am of the blood of King Ban, that was father unto Sir Launcelot.
