Three crown-princes of England who are with the king. That set will
share victorious prowess," etc.
THE ROOM OF THE EQUERRIES
"I beheld another trio. Three cropt heads of hair on them, three frocks
they wore, and three mantles wrapt around them. A whip in the hand
of each."
"I know those," quoth Fer rogain. "Echdruim, Echriud, Echruathar, the
three horsemen of the king, that is, his three equerries. Three brothers
are they, three sons of Argatron. Woe to him who shall wreak the
Destruction, were it only because of that trio."
THE ROOM OF THE JUDGES
"I beheld another trio in the room by them. A handsome man who had got
his baldness newly. By him were two young men with manes upon them.
Three mixed plaids they wore. A pin of silver in the mantle of each of
them. Three suits of armour above them on the wall. Liken thou that, O
Fer rogain!"
"I know those," quoth he. "Fergus Ferde, Fergus Fordae and Domaine
Mossud, those are the king's three judges. Woe to him who shall wreak
the Destruction were it only because of that trio! A man will perish by
each of them.
