And when she was\n missed he called a good knight that hight Sadok, and\n charged him by pain of death to fetch Anglides again and\n her young son. So Sir Sadok departed and rode after\n Anglides. And within ten mile he overtook her, and\n bade her turn again and ride with him to King Mark.\n Alas, fair knight, she said, what shall ye win by my son's\n death or by mine? I have had overmuch harm and too\n great a loss. Madam, said Sadok, of your loss is dole\n and pity; but madam, said Sadok, would ye depart out\n of this country with your son, and keep him till he be of\n age, that he may revenge his father's death, then would\n I suffer you to depart from me, so you promise me\n to revenge the death of Prince Boudwin. Ah, gentle\n knight, Jesu thank thee, and if ever my son, Alisander le\n Orphelin, live to be a knight, he shall have his father's\n doublet and his shirt with the bloody marks, and I shall\n give him such a charge that he shall remember it while he\n liveth. And therewithal Sadok departed from her, and\n either betook other to God. And when Sadok came to\n King Mark he told him faithfully that he had drowned\n young Alisander her son; and thereof King Mark was\n full glad.\n \n Now turn we unto Anglides, that rode both night and\n day by adventure out of Cornwall, and little and in few\n places she rested; but ever she drew southward to the\n seaside, till by fortune she came to a castle that is called\n Magouns, and now it is called Arundel, in Sussex. And\n the Constable of the castle welcomed her, and said she\n was welcome to her own castle; and there was Anglides 2t\n worshipfully received, for the Constable's wife was nigh\n her cousin, and the Constable's name was Bellangere; and\n that same Constable told Anglides that the same castle\n was hers by right inheritance. Thus Anglides endured\n years and winters, till Alisander was big and strong;\n there was none so wight in all that country, neither there\n was none that might do no manner of mastery afore him.","title":"Le Morte d'Arthur BOOK X CHAPTER XXXIII","type":"page"}
