runk he fell asleep. And when it was night he made
him to be carried to another castle, and there he put him in a strong
prison, and there he ordained a man and a woman to give him his meat and
drink. So there he was a great while.

Then was Sir Tristram missed, and no creature wist where he was become.
When La Beale Isoud heard how he was missed, privily she went unto Sir
Sadok, and prayed him to espy where was Sir Tristram. Then when Sadok
wist how Sir Tristram was missed, and anon espied that he was put in
prison by King Mark and the traitors of Magouns, then Sadok and two of
his cousins laid them in an ambushment, fast by the Castle of Tintagil,
in arms. And as by fortune, there came riding King Mark and four of his
nephews, and a certain of the traitors of Magouns. When Sir Sadok espied
them he brake out of the bushment, and set there upon them. And when
King Mark espied Sir Sadok he fled as fast as he might, and there Sir
Sadok slew all the four nephews unto King Mark. But these traitors of
Magouns slew one of Sadok's cousins with a great wound in the neck, but
Sadok smote the other to the death. Then Sir Sadok rode upon his way
unto a castle that was called Liones, and there he espied of the treason
and felony of King Mark. So they of that castle rode with Sir Sadok till
that they came to a castle that hight Arbray, and there in the town
they found Sir Dinas the Seneschal, that was a good knight. But when Sir
Sadok had told Sir Dinas of all the treason of King Mark he defied such
a king, and said he would give up his lands that he held of him. And
when he said these words all manner knights said as Sir Dinas said. Then
by his advice and of Sir Sadok's, he let stuff all the towns and castles
within the country of Liones, and assembled all the people that they
might make.

CHAPTER LI. How King Mark let do counterfeit letters from the Pope, and
how Sir Percivale delivered Sir Tristram out of prison.

NOW turn we unto King Mark, that when he was escaped from Sir Sadok he
rode unto the Castle of Tintagil, and there he made great cry and noise,
and cried unto harness all that might bear arms. Then they sought and
found where were dead four cousins of King Mark's, and the traitor of
Magouns. Then the king let inter them in a chapel. Then the king let cry
in all the country that held of him, to go unto arms, for he understood
to the war he must needs. When King Mark heard and understood how Sir
Sadok and Sir Dina
