Note
The final -e of mantle simply takes -d, and one spelling serves as the simple past and after have or be. The verb behind it is unusually varied: a blush mantled her cheeks, the peaks were mantled in cloud, a climber mantled onto a ledge, and in falconry a hawk mantles when it spreads its wings over its food to hide it. Context, more than grammar, tells these apart.
