IN years bygone was a Count of Ponthieu, who loved much chivalry and the / world, and was a much valiant man and a good knight.
In the same times was a Count of St. Pol, who held all the country, and / was lord thereof, and a man much valiant. He had no heir of his flesh, / whereof he was sore grieving; but a sister he had, a much good dame, and / a valiant woman of much avail, who was Dame of Dontmart in Ponthieu. The / said dame had a son, Thibault by name, who was heir of the country of St. / Pol, but a poor man so long as his uncle lived; he was a brave knight and / a valiant, and good at arms: noble he was, and goodly, and was much / honoured and loved of good folk; for a high man he was, and gentle of / blood.
