Damascus
Damaske
The present capital of Syria features in Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Parzival as a location where Perceval’s father Gahmuret traveled, and in Wirnt von Grafenberg’s Wigalois as a location of a battle fought by several of Wigalois’s companions.
In the Alliterative Morte Arthure and Malory, the city is allied to Lucius the Roman.
