Sabins

Sabins

A river running through the land of King Gramoflanz in Wolfram’s Parzival. Gramoflanz’s fortress, standing near it, was called Roche Sabins.

The river Poynzaclins paralleled it. Gawain and Perceval and then Perceval and Gramoflanz fought duels near the river.

In Der Pleier’s Tandareis, the name is given to Arthur’s castle in Löver on the Karonica river.
