Tristram, too, prepares to go to the Pentecost feast. Isode refuses to go because her appearance as his lady would make men challenge him to fights. Tristram must not stay away though, she says, because his station requires him to go. Tristram goes and on the way meets his old enemy Palornydes. They fight, then for the last time drop their quarrel and vow to be friends henceforth. Palomydes, having now fulfilled an old vow involving seven great battles, agrees to be christened.
