Ritschart of Tumane


The Count of Tumane who participated in the Dyoflê tournament in Ulrich’s Lanzelet. He opposed Lot, and fared poorly in the tournament – twenty of his knights were captured – until Lancelot agreed to fight for his side.

Ulrich notes that Ritschart had one hundred knights in total; he may thus be identical to the King with a Hundred Knights found in later texts.
