Tot environ li borc porpristrent.”
[687] Ord. Vit. 774 D. “Rodbertus Belesmensis Balaonem munivit.”
[688] Ord. Vit. 774 D. “Cursorem suum Amalchisum confestim ad regem in Angliam direxit.” We do not get the name anywhere else. Wace (14902) well brings out the opposition of “Normanz” and “Mansels;”
“Normanz ki la tor desfendirent
Quant la force des Mancels virent,
En Engleterre unt envéié,
De secors unt li reis préié,
L’adventure li unt mandée,
E des Mansels la trestornée.”
[689] See [Appendix PP]. It is Normant and Mansels in the new edition of Andresen, 9803.
