Leonois: therefore seems dwell realm Leonois, wish." (LXXX) (Il Tristano Riccardiano, Il Tristano Riccardiano > Testo > LXXX. And after a little while, the queen asked for her mantle from the maiden, and the maiden began to search for it, and could not find it anywhere. But the wicked maiden entered the queen's chamber and found T. sleeping in the bed, covered with the queen's mantle; and when she saw him, she was greatly afraid and went out of the chamber and locked the door behind her. And after a little while, the wicked maiden departed and came to Ghedin and said to him: "Ghedin, I bring you most wondrous news, for T. is in madonna Isotta's chamber and sleeps in the bed. Now prepare yourself, if you are indeed a valiant knight, so that you may seize him tonight." Then Ghedin departs and goes to the knights who were kinsmen of those whom T. had killed and said to them: "This evening be armed and ready and come to the palace to my chamber, and I shall deliver T. into your hands, provided truly that you shall not strike him, but rather seize him, in such a manner that he comes alive into the hands of king Marco." And the knights said: "This we shall do well." Then Ghedin returns to king Marco and said: "King Marco, I believe that tomorrow I shall give you T. captured in person." And the king said: "If you do this for me, I tell you that you shall not ask any reward that I shall not give you. But all the while I remind you that no one should strike him, but rather take him without striking him and without doing any harm to his person." And Ghedin answered and said that he had given this command from his own mouth to the knights who are to seize him. And when evening came, Ghedin placed the knights in a chamber in the tower, where the queen was imprisoned. And when night came, as T. slept with madonna Isotta, Braguina carried away T.'s sword to his lodging and gave it to Governale, because T. had told her to carry it away. And after T. had fallen asleep with madonna Isotta, the treacherous maiden came to Ghedin and said to him: "Ghedin, now is the time to seize T." And then Ghedin entered with eighteen armed knights and they came into the hall. And immediately he had great torches of candles lit and had them placed around the chamber where T. slept with madonna Isotta. And they lay embraced together and each wore a white silk chemise. And then the knights seized T. as he slept and bound him tightly. And the queen, when she saw him bound, begins to weep most bitterly and to say within herself: "Now I am the most unfortunate queen in the world, for I am caught in such an act." The queen grieves greatly and T. says not a word. In the morning Ghedin came to king Marco and said: "King Marco, I bring you good news, for we have seized T. and madonna Isotta. And when it please you, we shall bring him before you." Then the king commanded that he be brought before him. And then they seized T. and madonna Isotta and bound their hands and brought them before the king. And the king looked and saw T. and madonna Isotta before him. And thinking of the beauty of madonna Isotta and the prowess of T., he begins to grieve bitterly for them and to say within himself: "Alas, Ghedin, why have you slain me? Now I may well say that I am the most unfortunate king that ever was, since through my own fault I have had seized the best knight in the world and the one who has done me the most good and honor and service. And since he is seized, it is necessary that vengeance be done upon him and that I have the queen destroyed, who is the most beautiful woman in the world." But then, the king grieving in such a manner, said to T.: "Since you have committed treason against me, it is necessary that I take vengeance upon you." And then the king commands that the queen shall be burned and that T. shall be beheaded. And then all the barons of Cornovaglia came with pleas that he should pardon him and the queen as well. And the king for their love freed the queen from the fire and commanded that she be given to the lepers. > Page 173)
