They return to the meadow where the horses are feeding, and Priamus heals both their wounds with the water of Paradise. Then Arthur's knights prepare for battle with the enemy force Priamus says is close at hand. The fight takes place, Priamus and his men join Arthur's side, and Arthur's men win. Back at the city walls, Arthur christens Priamus and makes him one of his own vassals. The siege on the city is successful, and Arthur promises mercy to all but the recreant duke. He orders his men not to molest the city's women.
Then Arthur moves on to be crowned in Rome, distributes land and wealth, and at last, at the request of his nobles — they have been too long parted from their wives, they say — he turns back toward England, where Guinevere and the other wives joyfully welcome him and all his troops.
