TENEBROC
Daneborc, Taneborc, Taneburgh, Tarebron, Tenabroc
A British city in Chrétien’s Erec at which Arthur called a tournament after the wedding of Erec and Enide. Erec carried the day at the tournament. Wolfram gives the name Clarischanze to the countess of Tenebroc. The name is a French variation of Edinburgh. It was the location of a tournament in the latter days of Arthur’s reign, mentioned in the Vulgate Mort Artu. Lancelot was unable to attend because of a wound. Malory places the same tournament at Camelot or Winchester.
