How King Edward had Windsor Castle restored and announced a great feast to be held there.

Now I shall relate, if I can, the adventures and deeds of arms that took place in gascony, Saintonge and Poitou, for they are no less admirable than those I've recounted thus far. But first I shall speak of the great King Edward, who was filled with all noble qualities: I never heard a base thing said of him – except one, of which I shall speak now, to which he was driven by the power of Love.

You have earlier heard how he left Brittany and returned to England after agreeing a truce – it was to last for two years or three, I'm not sure which – and he took with him Sir Hervé de Léon, who'd been such a fierce adversary to him and his men. Once he was back in England his noble heart inspired him not only to restore and improve the castle at Windsor, which King Arthur had built and where the Round Table was first established in honour of the worthy knights of that time, but also to create a counterpart to that Round Table for the greater honour of his own knights; for they'd served him so well and he considered them most worthy: their like were not to be found in any kingdom, and he loved them so dearly that he felt he couldn't honour them too much.
