Chapter CCLXXIV

"Seigneurs Barons," said to them Carle the King,
"Judge Ganelon according to the law.--
Among my host with me to Spain he came;
His craft lost twenty thousand of my Franks;
My nephew, whom ye nevermore shall see,
And Olivier, the brave and courteous Knight.
The traitor sold my brave twelve Peers for gain."
Then Ganelon:--"May I be cursed ere I
Deny. Of wealth and honors had [Rolland]
Deprived me, and for this, his loss and death
I wrought, but treason none I will confess."
Respond the French:--"On this we counsel take."
Aoi.
