HARPE

1. Harpe, Castel de
   Harp Castle
   
   This may have been a castle of King Bagdemagus, since Lancelot and Meliagrant's stepsister joined her father here. Vulgate VII has the Damoisele a la Harpe, a sister or cousin of Helaes de la Forest Perilleuse. This suggests a location in or near the Forest Perilous.
   
   Helaes de la Forest Perilleuse may well be Malory's Hellawes, the sorceress of Castle Nigramous.

   She took Oriolz the Dane to heal him. She was either a sister or a cousin of Helaes de la Forest Perilleuse.
