Before Erec reached the town, he sent two knights ahead to announce his arrival to the King. When he heard the news, the King had clerks, knights, and damsels quickly mount, and ordered the bells to be rung, and the streets to be hung with tapestries and silken stuffs, that his son might be received with joy; then he himself got on his horse.

There were so many burghers and dames that no one could tell the number of them. The King and his son galloped and rode on till they saw and recognised each other.
