The messengers then started out: the nobles who went to seek him, and who were the greatest men of the land, sought and searched for him until they found him at Tintagel three weeks before Christmas; they told him the truth what had happened to his old, white haired father, and how he now was dead and gone. This grieved Erec much more than he showed before the people. THE MESSENGERS THEN STARTED OUT THE NOBLES WHO WENT TO SEEK HIM AND WHO WERE THE GREATEST MEN OF THE LAND SOUGHT AND SEARCHED FOR HIM UNTIL THEY FOUND HIM AT TINTIGO THREE WEEKS BEFORE CHRISTMAS THEY TOLD HIM THE TRUTH WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO HIS OLD WHITE HAIRED FATHER AND HOW HE NOW WAS DEAD AND GONE THIS GRIEVED ERIC MUCH MORE THAN HE SHOWED BEFORE THE PEOPLE
 the story again would burden me; for the tale is not short, that any one should wish to begin it afresh and re-embelish it, as he told and related it: of the three knights whom he defeated, and then of the five, and then of the Count who strove to do him harm, and then of the two giants--all in order, one after the other, he told him of his adventures up to the point where he met Count Oringle of Limors. "Many a danger have you gone through, fair gentle friend," said the King to him; "now tarry in this country at my court, as you are wont to do." "Sire, since you wish it, I shall remain very gladly three or four years entire. But ask Guivret to remain here too a request in which I would fain join." The King prays him to remain, and he consents to stay. So they both stay: the King kept them with him, and held them dear and honoured them. (Vv. 6510-6712.) Erec stayed at court, together with Guivret and Enide, until the death of his father, the king, who was an old man and full of years.
