Lancelot and Meleagant engage in battle. Lancelot, still weak from his wounds, struggles to fight his foe. Guinevere watches the skirmish from a tower and is out of Lancelot's sight, until a wise maiden asks the Queen for his name and shouts to Lancelot. He looks up and sees the Queen and is invigorated, but distracted. The maiden again shouts to Lancelot to alter his fighting. Lancelot heeds her counsel and gains the advantage over Meleagant.

King Bademagu is distressed to see his son get beaten by Lancelot. He beseeches the Queen to tell Lancelot to stop fighting Meleagant. She grants his request and Lancelot willingly obeys his Lady's command. Yet, the villainous Meleagant attacks Lancelot. The king is angered by his son's act and orders his barons to take him away. Then it is decided that the battle will be postponed for a year and will be held at the court of King Arthur.
