Marhault, riding with the middle-aged lady, avenges wrongs as a true knight should. He meets a duke who is a sworn enemy to King Arthur's court because Gawain long ago murdered the duke's seventh son. Marhault fights the duke and his remaining six sons, beats them, and gets their vow to drop the feud. Marhault fights afterward in a great tournament and wins the same prize Pellas won in another tournament. Finally, he fights a giant for the Earl of Fergus and destroys him.
Ywain, riding with the oldest damsel, wins a tournament prize (as did Pellas and Marhault), then fights two cowardly knights who have taken land by "extortion" or seizure. Ywain wins the fight but is so badly hurt that it takes him half a year to recover.
The three knights of Arthur's court come together again and learn that Arthur has repented of banishing Ywain. On the day of Pentecost — the day on which Arthur's knights each year renew their vow to live by Arthur's code — Gawain, Ywain, and Marhault, as well as Sir Pellas and Nineve, return to Camelot. Pellas and Marahult take first and second place, respectively, at Arthur's tournament, and for this, and also for their year's deeds, are honored by appointment to the Round Table. Only for love of Arthur does Pellas spare Gawain. He takes pleasure all the rest of his life in shaming Gawain at tournaments.
