Thenwhen all was ready, a' gayly dressed herald came into the hall, and kneeling before the king, atfd bow ing to the assembled company, an nounced the coming of the two counts, William and Reynaurd. All the other troubadours and minnesingers stood up, . and King ttene smiled graciously as the two noblemen entered, followed by their pages, Pierrot and Henri, each of whom carried a viol bedecked with long silken ribbons. When the counts had saluted the kirg and taken their places before him he commanded a seneschal to bear in the prize, and so the beautiful collar of jewels was brought in upon a silver tray and placed on a carved bench be side the king. Then a herald stepped out, and, lifting the collar upon the point of a flower-wreathed lance, dis played it to all the company and an nounced the terms of the contest of song about to take place. - All of which was certainly a great deal better and prettier than the cus toms of most of the royal courts of that time. In all the lands, except where King Rene lived, when .the peo ple wanted entertainment they used to gateher together to see contests called tournaments, where noble lords tried to overthrow each other with real lances on which there were no garlands But King Rene could not endure such barbarous displays, and so in his palace no one fought another except with pretty verses, and the best poet was the. champion.
