The prince takes service with a goldsmith in his father's city. The eldest brother desires to marry the eldest of the rescued princesses ; she demands a velvet greyhound pursuing a velvet hare, such as she has seen in the ogre's castle. The king offers a reward to any who can make such an object. The pretended goldsmith's apprentice undertakes to do so, and sends the green horse to fetch the original. At the tournament in honour of the wedding he appears on the horse in a dress to correspond, c...arries off the honours of the day, and escapes unrecognised. His second brother marries the second princess. She demands the golden ewer the red horse comes to his aid, and he wins the tourna- ment in his red dress. When the third and youngest princess is to be wedded to the king's brother he appears in white, on the white steed, slays the would-be bridegroom with a cast of his javelin, reveals his identity, and wins the bride. Here we have the three colours of the Lanzelet. Again, in the variants of Le Prince et son Cheval, another tale of the same collection, 1 we find the Three Days' Tournament allied to the rescue and escape from the Otherworld motif.
