When the day came, they wished each other luck and left.

Baldwin took the country route with an impetuous gallop. At the end of the first day he was supposed to cross a river but found the bridge broken. With despair, he took a detour that presented constant problems. In the end, it took him 4 days to get to Richfield.

The other brothers took the main road instead. William had prepared thoroughly, so he pressed on. Lambert tried to keep up, but before the end of the first day it was clear his horse would not hold. He slowed down and stuck to his original plan.

With no major surprises along the way, both arrived according to their estimations: William on the second day, Lambert on the third.
