There was a wild scuffle.
Richard got a side blow on the knee, but in return he caught Drago de Merlou under the armpit and well-nigh cut him in half.

Taillefer and Gilles de Gurdun set upon him together, and one of them wounded him in the shoulder.

But Taillefer got more than he gave, for he fell almost as he delivered his blow, and broke his jaw against a rock.

As for Gurdun, Richard hurtled full into him, bore him backwards, and threw him also.
Jehane safe in arms, he rode over him where he lay.

But lastly, pounding through the tussocks in the faint grey light, he met his father charging full upon him, intent to cut him off.
