Lancelot travels alone in his quest for Queen Guinevere. He meets a vavasor (a feudal tenant) and his family who offer him hospitality. Lancelot discovers that they are fellow countrymen from Logres and have been held prisoners in this land. Two of his sons accompany Lancelot through the stony passage where they meet with opposition and fight.

The three men continue onward and are led into a trap, but soon break free and discover a thousand men engaged in a fierce battle. They fight alongside other men from Logres and Lancelot is the hero of the day.

Lancelot is offered hospitality and is much admired. Yet, trouble once again comes to Lancelot, when a rather haughty knight challenges him. When Lancelot defeats the knight, he begs for mercy. However, a fair maiden appears on the scene to offer Lancelot a reward for giving her his head. Whose plea will Lancelot satisfy?
