Jerusalem, I charge you to stay
here and guard these bodies, and I'll go to the court to give the
news to the king.'
"He found the king leaving mass, and in everyone's presence, he
said:
"'My lord, in truth, there were two most valiant knights in Your
Majesty's court in the morning, and now they are so near death
that there is no hope for them.'
"'Who are these knights?'
"'My lord,' said Claros of Clarence, 'one is Lord Vilesermes and
the other is Tirant lo Blanc.'
"'I am very displeased,' said the king, 'by this news. Let us go
out there before we eat to see if we can help them.'
"'In faith,' said Claros, 'one has already departed from this
world, and I believe the other will soon join him--that is how
badly they were wounded.'
"When the relatives and friends of the knights heard the news
they gathered up their arms and rushed as quickly as they could,
on foot and on horseback, and our Lord God gave us the grace to
get there before the others. We found Tirant so covered with
blood that he was unrecognizable, and he had his eyes slightly
open.
