Bandes’ Daughter


King Bandes’ daughter was loved by a Saracen knight, Sir Corsabrin, who would not suffer her to marry anyone else, and who spread the story that she was out of her mind. The princess enlisted the aid of Sir Palomides, who fought and killed Corsabrin during Duke Galeholt’s tournament in Surluse.

And therewithal came a stink out of [Corsabrin's] body when the soul departed, that there might nobody abide the savour.
