After a year and a half he broke them to save Bliant from the horrid Sir Breuse Saunce Pite and his equally horrid brother Bertelot (who lost a hand in the fight). Six months after that he went AWOL to join a passing boar hunt and ended up gored in a hermitage.
Eventually he ran off and ended up back in the city of Corbin, and after winning the town's acceptance as the village idiot was one day spotted by Elaine sleeping by the well in her garden. There Dame Brisen cast a sleep spell upon him, and King Pelles had him taken to the Sangreal, and Launcelot was healed and made "sane" again.
One day Sirs Percivale and Ector turned up looking for a random scrap, and after Percivale crossed the lake he and Launcelot fought, finally recognising each other after a two hour hack. Then Launcelot's brother Ector and Elaine joined them, and they all chilled mightily.
Ector also persuaded Launcelot to end his years of self imposed exile, and bidding farewell to all at Corbin (including a tearful Elaine and a by-now fifteen-year-old Galahad) they rode with Percivale back to Logris.
Welcoming him back after an unexplained five year absence, Arthur assumed he had gone mad for the love of Elaine, but many knew about Guenever's part in the affair.
It was a close fight, but after two hours "by fortune Sir Tristram smote Palomides' sword out of his hand", and a dispirited Palomides asked to be forgiven for fancying Tristram's crumpet and to be friends again.
Tristam accepted, and he and Galleron were Palomides' Godfathers when the Saracen was finally christened later that day by the Suffragan of Carlisle, and they rode together to Camelot for the Feast of Pentecost, where also was headed Galahad.
And after the feast, "...Sir Tristram returned again unto Joyous Gard, and Sir Palomides followed the Questing Beast."
And now the stage is set for The Quest for the Sangreal
