The Rescue of Fair Rosamond's Child Ends with Henry
In a dramatic palace scene Eleanor threatens the child as Ugglethred pushes for secrets about Rosamond. Henry bursts in, seizes the dagger, and defeats the villain, freeing the boy to Rosamond as the queen falls senseless. The narrative then shifts to a prior tale in Stories of Torres Vedras detailing French incursions and a priest's boisterous defense.
