A1 to go on ships at flood-tide. On the island there was a large «o
and strong fortified city and many other villages. That was
one day that Partalopi rode out from the city. He went
now around the whole island to look about. Next they saw f>3
a knight riding, and they went into the hall. One said to
Urækia, “I saw a knight riding around the island to amuse
himself, and I do not know how he shall have gotten here, 66
because it is high tide.” “Friend,” she said, “he must have
ridden here before the tide rose.” At this moment Parta-
lopi rode into the city and got off his horse and came before 69
Urækia and greeted her courteously. She spoke: “Welcome
with us, good friend. Where are you from, and what is your
name?” “My name is Hugi,” he said, “son of the earl of 72
Normandy.” Urækia spoke: “Your father is our best friend,
and you shall be welcome here. I am ready to leave here, and
I wish to give you the castle with all that which belongs to 75
it.” She gave him much good advice, first to give gold and
silver to both sides and make himself thus popular with
people. She ordered him not to be inquisitive. 78
