And they told her not to worship God or the holy Virgin. The Ensign made her swear on a book with large letters that she would worship the two others. The king as if he was God and the Queen as if she was the holy virgin, and gave herself to them with body and soul... And after she had so worshipped them, they made the tables and ate and drank, and thereafter the men had intercourse with the women and with her many times in a short period of time. All of this seem to her as if a dream, for when she awoke, she did so in her bed, naked as if she had gone to rest.

On some occasions, she said, the elves had fetched her before she had gone to sleep for the night to prevent her husband and children from noticing anything.
