A thousand knights served the bread, and a thousand served the wine, and a thousand the meat  all of them dressed in fresh fur robes of ermine. All are served with divers dishes. Even if I did not see them, I might still be able to tell you about them; but I must attend to something else than to tell you what they had to eat.

out to meet them; nor was there any lack of chants made. Never were seen so many kings, counts, dukes, and nobles together at a Mass, and the press was so great and thick that the church was completely filled. No low-born man could enter there, but only ladies and knights. Outside the door of the church a great number still remained, so many were there come together who could not get inside the church. When they had heard all the Mass they returned to the palace. It was all prepared and decorated: tables set and cloths spread five hundred tables and more were there; but I do not wish to make you believe a thing which does not seem true. It would seem too great a lie were I to say that five hundred tables were set in rows in one palace, so I will not say it; rather were there five hails so filled with them that with great difficulty could one make his way among the tables. At each table there was in truth a king or a duke or a count; and full a hundred knights were seated at each table. RCH WERE ALL BROUGHT OUT TO MEET THEM NOR WAS THERE ANY LACK OF CHANCE MADE NEVER WERE SEEN SO MANY KINGS COUNTS DUKES AND NOBLES TOGETHER AT A MASS AND THE PRESS WAS SO GREAT AND THICK THAT THE CHURCH WAS COMPLETELY FILLED NO LOW BORN MAN COULD ENTER THERE BUT ONLY LADIES AND KNIGHTS OUTSIDE THE DOOR OF THE CHURCH A GREAT NUMBER STILL REMAINED SO MANY WERE THERE COME TOGETHER WHO COULD NOT GET INSIDE THE CHURCH WHEN THEY HAD HEARD ALL THE MASS THEY RETURNED TO THE PALACE IT WAS ALL PREPARED AND DECORATED TABLES SET AND CLOTH SPREAD FIVE HUNDRED TABLES AND MORE WERE THERE BUT I DO NOT WISH TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE A THING WHICH DOES NOT SEEM TRUE IT WOULD SEEM TOO GREAT ALIVE WERE I TO SAY THAT FIVE HUNDRED TABLES WERE SET IN ROWS IN ONE PALACE SO I WILL NOT SAY IT RATHER WERE THERE FIVE HALLS SO FILLED WITH THEM THAT WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY COULD ONE MAKE HIS WAY AMONG THE TABLES AT EACH TABLE THERE WAS IN TRUTH A KING OR A DUKE OR A COUNT AND FULL A HUNDRED KNIGHTS WERE SEATED AT EACH TABLE
