Lis

Liz


A castle mentioned by Chrétien de Troyes and his continuators as the home of Meliant and Bran.

In the First Continuation of Perceval, the damsel of Lis, Guilorete, bears Gawain a son.

Wolfram called its capital Barbigœl. It probably comes from the Welsh llys ('castle'), though other possibilities include the French lis ('lily') and a corruption of iles ('isles').
