Chapter XII

Beneath a pine the Monarch has repaired;
His barons to the council called: the Duke
Ogier--Archbishop Turpin--old Richard,
Also his nephew Henri, and the brave
Count Acelin of Gascuigne--Tedbald
De Reins--his cousin Milon--Gerier,
Gerin, together with the Count Rolland,
And Olivier, the brave and noble knight.
One thousand Franks of France and more were met--
Then Ganelon came, who treason wrought; and now
Was opened that ill-fated council thus:
Aoi.
