There is no need to tell all Huon's journeyings after he had departed / from Paris. Let it suffice to say that he went to Rome and there / received the blessing of the Pope; and that he took ship at / Brandys,[1] and, traversing the Inland Sea, so came to Holy Land, / and, having landed at Jaffa, he came on the second day to Jerusalem. / And he had for his comrade a certain Garyn, who was his mother's / brother, for Huon was son to Duke Sevyn of Bordeaux. At Jerusalem, / when they had worshipped at the Holy Sepulchre, Huon said to his / uncle, "I thank you much for your great kindness in that you have / borne me company so far. Now then return to your lady, my aunt, and / to your children. " "Not so," answered Garyn, "I will not leave you / till you shall return yourself to your own land."
