MONMUR, THE ENCHANTED CASTLE OF OBERON 103<br />

I do not know if God forgave <strong>the</strong>m or damned <strong>the</strong>m in <strong>the</strong> end.<br />

WOLFRAM VON ESCHENBACH<br />

Especially surprising are <strong>the</strong> analogies between Anfortas <strong>the</strong> fisherman<br />

on <strong>the</strong> shores of Lake Brumbane <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> fisherman Mallabron beside a vast<br />

body of water, behind which is located Oberon's Kingdom of <strong>the</strong> Faeries.<br />

Both Anfortas <strong>and</strong> Oberon suffer. Both consider that <strong>the</strong> arrival of <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

successor will be a moment of salvation.<br />

According to <strong>the</strong> "Song of Esclarmonde," <strong>the</strong> enchanted cast<strong>le</strong> of<br />

Monmur is to be found in <strong>the</strong> vicinity of <strong>the</strong> pays des commans <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

terre de foy. Wasn't <strong>the</strong> marriage of <strong>the</strong> historic Esclarmonde with Jordan<br />

de Lil<strong>le</strong> <strong>the</strong> direct association of <strong>the</strong> Pays de Comminges <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Terre de<br />

Foix, <strong>the</strong> crad<strong>le</strong> of Cathar faith (foy in old French)?
