Description
King Nanteleod has alliances with Clarence and Lambor; he also goes to Bedegraine to accept the vassalage of the count. The King of Malahaut marches south, joined by Elmet, and begins plundering Linden Pool. Duke Corneus can not hope to match his enemy’s army, and everyone withdraws into their castles. The main army besieges Lincoln, where the duke has withdrawn.
King Nanteleod marches down the Trent, and three leaders meet outside of the city. Corneus plays it cagey, Malahaut is aggressive, and Nanteleod accepts the challenge and proposes that Lindsey, with its duke and little army intact, be the prize of the battle between the kings.
It’s a grand and glorious battle between knights only, a duel and a battle at the same time. As the battle rages, a few lone knights from Salisbury arrive early in the morning and watches the ongoing battle. In a spur of the moment decision they join the fray, declaring war on Malahaut in the name of their Lady and joining the side of Nanteleod.
At first the battle seems even, and the Salisbury knights fight furiously to reach Nanteleods unit. But after several hours of battle the tide turns and Malahuts knights flanks the main army. All seems lost as Nanteleods knights starts to turn back and retreat. But the Salisbury knights rages forward, calling knights and squires to join their side. Against all odds the manage to rally the troops and help win the battle for Nanteleod.
Nanteleod wins the day when Malahaut are crushed. It is a decisive victory. Afterward, King Nanteleod and Duke Corneus are reconciled. The armies of Nanteleod and Lindsey spend the rest of the summer scouting Lonazep and skirmishing with the Saxons who are also scouting there.
