Liz
A castle ruled by King Meliant of Lis, according to Chrétien de Troyes and his continuators. Meliant declared war on Duke Lyppaut after Obie, the Duke’s daughter, had refused him.
In the First Continuation of Chrétien’s Perceval, the damsel of Lis, Guilorete, bears Gawain a son.
Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Parzival calls the capital of this realm Barbigœl.
It probably comes from the Welsh llys, meaning “castle,” though other possibilities include the French lis, “lily,” and a corruption of iles, “isles.”
