| - | [[File:3786.jpg|left]]Glozelle has just finished eating with Sopespian when he looks up and sees Edmund, Glenstorm, and Wimbleweather coming toward them out of the wood. At first glance they believe it is an attack, but when they see the green branches the party is carrying, they realize it is a parley. Looking into Edmund's kingly face, Glozelle and Sopespian determine he has come not to surrender, but to bring a challenge. They are surprised by this because the Telmarine army is clearly in a superior position. But Glozelle believes that they can use this to their advantage and takes Sopespian aside to suggest that they might be able to get Miraz to accept the challenge. If Miraz wins, then the war would be over, but if he loses, the Telmarine army can still win the war — and Glozelle and Sopespian could then rule Narnia. When Miraz calls them into his tent to ask for advice on the challenge, the two lords cleverly imply that he should refuse it because he is too old and cowardly. This throws Miraz into a rage, goading him to accept the challenge, and he stomps out of the tent after insulting them. Glozelle and Sopespian are pleased with his response to their manipulation. During the duel, Miraz falls on his face, but before he can rise Glozelle and Sopespian rush into the ring, shouting "Treachery" against the Narnians. This starts the Battle of Beruna, and as he enters the fray Glozelle pauses to stab and kill Miraz for his insults. | + | [[File:3786.jpg|left]]Glozelle has just finished eating with [[Sopespian]] when he looks up and sees [[Edmund Pevensie|Edmund]], [[Glenstorm]], and [[Wimbleweather]] coming toward them out of the wood.

| - | ==About== | + | ==About Glozelle== |
| - | Glozelle is a clever and scheming courtier whose first loyalty is to himself. He has no compunctions about manipulating King Miraz for his own ends. It is clear that Miraz would never have accepted Peter's challenge had not Glozelle concocted the plan to profit by Miraz's possible death in battle. Little did Glozelle know that his selfish plans would work in the Narnians' favor. Interestingly, Glozelle is not mentioned again in the story after he kills Miraz. It would seem that he dies in the battle, but Lewis does not make that clear. | + | Glozelle is a clever and scheming courtier whose first loyalty is to himself.
