At this moment someone knocked at the gate and Blue Beard stopped. The gate was opened, and two horsemen entered. They ran directly to Blue Beard with their swords out. He knew that his wife's brothers weresoldiers; so he ran away to save himself. But the two brothers ran after him and killed him with their swords. The poor wife was almost as dead as her husband, and had not strength enough to rise and welcome her brothers.

After his death his wife became very rich. She used one part of her money to marry her sister Anne to a young gentleman who loved her for a long time. Another part she gave to her brothers, and the rest she used to marry herself to a very nice gentleman, who made her forget the hard time with Blue Beard.
