He had never told so sad a tale, and went back weeping. "What news?" cried Dietrich. "Why weepest thou so bitterly, Sir Helfrich?" The knight answered, "I may well mourn. The Burgundians have slain Rudeger." But the prince of Bern said, "God forbid! That were stark vengeance and devil's sport. What had Rudeger done to deserve it? Well I know he was their friend."
