beoause I have given up all that which for me was happiness
48 in this world.” In the night they took their horses and rode
away so that no one knew. Then Partalopi had with him
his two dogs. Then they rode until they came to some village
51 and got lodgings for themselves there. Hlodvir spoke:
“Either I shall go home to my kingdom, or I shall accept
Christianity, and Partalopi, you shall teach me that lore
54 which belongs to it.” Partalopi answered: “I will do that

Bretons, agreed to that quickly now, and he was now
baptized immediately with the name Barsianus2.
Now Prince Partalopi quickly regained his strength and
very good powers, and on a certain day then he said to his
comrade Barsianus that he wished that they both would
ride away secretly from the city. This they did, and they
both rode now so many days until they came to a certain
city. There Partalopi stole away from Barsianus—so that
