The Arthurian Tales The Greatest of Romances; Which Recount the Noble and Valorous Deeds of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
by Thomas Malory
Excerpt from The Arthurian Tales: The Greatest of Romances; Which Recount the Noble and Valorous Deeds of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
It befel in the days of the noble Utherpendragon, when he was king of England, and so reigned, there was a mighty and a noble duke in Cornwall, that held long time war against him; and the duke was named the duke of Tintagil. And so by means king Uther sent for this duke, charging him to bring his wife with him, for she was called a right fair lady, and a passing wise, and Igraine was her name. So when the duke and his wife were come to the king, by the means of great lords, they were both accorded, and the king liked and loved this lady well, and made her great cheer, in his desire, out of measure. But she was a passing good woman, and would not assent to the king. And then she told the duke, her husband, and said, "I suppose that we were sent for that I should be dishonored; wherefore, husband, I counsel you that we depart from hence suddenly, that we may ride all night to our own castle." And like as she had said, so they departed, that neither the king, nor none of his council, were aware of their departing. As soon as king Uther knew of their departing so suddenly, he was wonderful wrath; then he called to him his privy council, and told them of the sudden departing of the duke and his wife. Then they advised the king to send for the duke and his wife.
