The King himself took Bisclavret inside, and closed all the doors tight; he returned when the time was done. He brought along two barons, not one. They entered the chamber, all three. On the king's royal bed, they see lying fast asleep, the knight. The king ran to hug him tight; He kissed him a hundred times that day. When he catches his breath, he hands him back all his fiefs and lands, and more presents than I will say.
— “Bisclavret,” Marie de France
