Camelot, and had it adorned of rich vestments, and stablished a chaplain that should sing mass there every day. Sithence then hath the place been so builded up as that there is an abbey there and folk of religion, and many bear witness that there it is still, right fair. Perceval was departed from Camelot and entered into the great forest, and so rode of a long while until he had left his mother's castle far behind, and came toward evening to the hold of a knight that was at the head of the forest. He harboured him therein, and the knight showed him much honour and made him be unarmed, and brought him a robe to do on. Perceval seeth that the knight is a right simple man, and that he sigheth from time to time. XII. "Sir," saith he, "Meseemeth you are not over joyous." "Certes, Sir," saith the knight, "I have no right to be, for a certain man slew mine own brother towards the Deep Forest not long since, and no right have I to be glad, for a worshipful man was he and a loyal." "Fair Sir," saith Perceval, "Know you who slew him?" "Fair Sir, it was one of Aristor's knights, for that he was sitting upon a horse that had been Aristor's, and whereon another knight had slain him, and a hermit had lent him to my brother for that the Red Knight's lion had maimed his own." Perceval was little glad of these tidings, for that he had sent him that had been slain on account of the horse. "Sir," saith Perceval, "Your brother had not deserved his death, methinketh, for it was not he that slew the knight." "No, Sir, I know it all of a truth, but another, that slew the Red Knight of the Deep Forest."
