“ The Pagans seeing their King dead, threw down their arms and ran and the Christians pursued them with a mighty slaughter. At last the pursuit being over, they returned to Constantinople, and Orson acquainted the Empress of the death of his father, but concealed by whom it was done.
Upon which it was concluded that Valentine and Orson should govern the empire by turns, with their wives, the Ladies Fazon and Clerimond, whose brother the Green Knight, was crowned King of the Green Mountain, the people of which were much delighted to have so brave a warrior for their King. ”

“ Upon which he bound him, and then led him to Paris, where he presented him to King Pepin, who had the Wild Man baptised by the name of Orson, from his being taken in a wood.' Orson's actions, during their stay there, very much amused the whole court, so that at length the duke of Acquitain sent letters, importing, that whoever should overcome the Green Knight, a fierce Pagan champion, should have his Daughter Fazon in marriage. ”

“ While he was absent, Brandifer, brother to Feragus, invaded the empire with a very great army, and at length besieged Constantinople where lay Valentine and Orson, the Green Knight, and all the ladies. ”

“ The Lady Bellifant having followed the bear to no purpose, returned to the place where she had left the other babe but great was her sorrow when Blandiman said he had seen her brother Pepin, but could tell nothing of the child;—and having comforted her for the loss of it, they went to the sea-side took shipping and arrived at the castle of the giant Feragus, in Portugal.

“ In the mean time the Emperor who was at sea, returned homeward, and in his way he met a fleet going to the assistance of Brandifer, which bore down upon him with full fail; whereupon, exhorting his companions to behave like men they made ready to receive them, and after a most bloody and obstinate battle, the Emperor got the victory, having slain many of the Pagans, and dispersed their ships. ”

“ WHEN they were come to Portugal, he put Valentine and Orson into a dungeon, and fed them with bread and water, but allowed his sister Clerimond the liberty of the castle, where she met the Empress Bellisant who had been confined twenty years in the castle of Ferragus. ”

“ Next morning, he beheld the Wild Man traversing the forest in search of his prey, at length he came to the tree where Valentine's horse stood, from whom he pulled many hairs, upon which the horse kicked him, the Wild Man feeling the pain, was going to tear him to pieces, which Valentine seeing, made signs as if he would fight him, and accordingly he leaped down and gave him a blow ”

“ The Lady Clerimond beheld all this dispute, and seeing them brave Knights, received them courteously, Valentine having presented tokens from the Green Knight, told her he came there for the love of her, and to discourse with the All-knowing Head, concerning their parents. ”
