Esclados, the aging Swordmaster of Almekia, went through his usual ritual of cursing the King as he stood to overlook the courtyard, hard eyes glinting in the dim light.
Esclados did not jump, to his credit; he had been too preoccupied to notice Zemeckis' approach, but he made no indication that he was surprised.
Esclados glanced down at himself, noticed the smears and splatters on his own armor and hands; there could be little doubt that there were splashes of blood on his face and in his hair, as well.

A strong and brave knight was needed to defend the fountain.
When her husband was killed by Yvain (Owain), her companion, Lunete (Luned in the Welsh Mabinogion) convinced the countess to take Yvain as her new husband and champion of the magical spring.
When Arthur and his retinue stayed at the castle of the Lady, Chretien de Troyes described Lunete as "...a winsome brunette, very sensible, clever and attractive." Chretien also described her as the moon, just as he compared Sir Gawain as the sun.

Yvain is a good knight and is able to defeat Esclados the Red at the fountain where Calogrenant could not.
He is dismayed when he tarries overly long and loses her, and returns to acting in the fashion of a wild animal without clothes, running naked in the forest.
He fails to deal successfully with the 'vilain' described in the fashion of many animals, which is a prelude to his complete failure in the combat with Esclados the Red.

Thus, with the information provided, it seems likely that Yvain would have either gotten himself killed by an angry mob, when leaving the castle, or else have stayed in hiding indefinitely.
In addition to this clear perk, Laudine also gives Yvain his much desired proof of victory over her (late) husband, Esclados.
"(Yvain) is perturbed to see them burying the corpse when he can get nothing as evidence that he overcame and slew (Esclados) and which he would be able to display openly.

Doing that, he kills Esclados the Red and falls deeply in love with Esclados’ mourning wife Laudine when seeing her the first time.

The whole erotic process is tied up with the act of reading.
Don't forget also that Yvain had first fallen in love with Laudine while she was reading her psalter and about to bury her husband Esclados.
So the process of reading is seen as the quintessential mode of production and exploitation that becomes theological, involving even the notion of incarnation.

Frappier glosses over Yvain's lack of proper courtly conduct as a knight.
The critic also fails to mention Yvain's unwarranted aggression against Esclados the Red, the man who was the proper defender of the storm fountain or of Esclados' family and subjects who were subjected to unprovoked attack from a man whose only reason for doing so was to increase his own name.
The woman who retrieves the magic ring from Yvain, suggested in some interpretations to be Lunete, may have been correct because Chretien gives us a powerful scene in which our jousting knight is finally confronted for his crimes against his lady and against love:
