reth won when he was called Beaumains. All these hundred knights
and ten searched Sir Urre's wounds by the commandment of King Arthur.

CHAPTER XII. How Sir Launcelot was commanded by Arthur to handle his
wounds, and anon he was all whole, and how they thanked God.

MERCY Jesu, said King Arthur, where is Sir Launcelot du Lake that he
is not here at this time? Thus, as they stood and spake of many things,
there was espied Sir Launcelot that came riding toward them, and told
the king. Peace, said the king, let no manner thing be said until he be
come to us. So when Sir Launcelot espied King Arthur, he descended from
his horse and came to the king, and saluted him and them all. Anon as
the maid, Sir Urre's sister, saw Sir Launcelot, she ran to her brother
thereas he lay in his litter, and said: Brother, here is come a knight
that my heart giveth greatly unto. Fair sister, said Sir Urre, so doth
my heart light against him, and certainly I hope now to be healed, for
my heart giveth unto him more than to all these that have searched me.

him, I dare say there is no knight in this land may heal him, and
therefore I pray you, do as we have done.

And then all the kings and knights for the most part prayed Sir
Launcelot to search him; and then the wounded knight, Sir Urre, set him
up weakly, and prayed Sir Launcelot heartily, saying: Courteous knight,
I require thee for God's sake heal my wounds, for methinketh ever
sithen ye came here my wounds grieve me not. Ah, my fair lord, said
Sir Launcelot, Jesu would that I mi
