Book III. opens with the _Queste_, the text of which I shall examine

in detail further on; it extends to over 11,000 ll. The remainder of the book is occupied by a group of important episodic romances, some of which are found nowhere else. They are as follows:

11,161. _La vengeance de Raguidel._[162]

14,300. An adventure of Lancelot, Bohort, and Dodinel, when the latter rescues a maiden tied up in a tree.

14,681. _Le Chevalier à la Manche_ (van den riddere metter mouwen).

18,603. _Gauvain et Kei_ (Hoe Keye Waleweine verriet).

22,271. _Lancelot et le cerf au pied blanc_ (van der jonc frouwen metten hondekine).

23,122-26,980. _Torec._[163]
