"My lord king Arthur,it is with a heavy heart that I set forth to do battle with one of your own blood;but now it is incumbent upon my honor to do so for six months I have suffered your majesty to lay my lands waste and besiege me in my own city.My courtesy is repaid with insults, so deadly and shameful that now I must by force of arms seek redress."
"My lord sir Lancelot: traitor to the king and to me, come forth if you dare and meet your mortal foe, instead of lurking like a coward in your castle!"

"Alas! dear nephew,that you lie here thus,mortally wounded! what joy is now left to me on this earth you must know it was you and sir Lancelot I loved above all others it seems that I have lost you both."
"my Good uncle, it was my pride and stubbornness that brought all this about, for had I not urged you to wear with sir Lancelot your subjects would not now be in revolt
Our Lord God has vouchsafed that we visit you and plead with you not to give battle sir modred tomorrow, for if you do not only will you yourself be killed but all your noble followers too we beg you to make a treaty for a month untill lord launcelot gets here in a month
