"Roger of Trencavel was the Cathar knight who defended Carcasonne against the army of the Inquisition in 1209," Duke read aloud from Van Buren. "The name Trencavel signifies in French: celui qui tranche bien or he who cuts well."

"Yes, as in settling a difficulty - it means that, too, not just cut."

"What else does old Liz say here: Trencavel portrayed Percival. Wolfram von Eschenbach wrote: It is true, you bear the name Parsifal; The name which means he who cuts through..."

"The message of the coat-of-arms of Sabarthez now reads: Percival will have the Grail of the Cathari...see, I looked and looked for the Rogers after the Cathars were finished off, and the last went on Crusade to the Far East, after ceding his lands to the French King as punishment for his heresy - I knew they went to Italy, I knew it - but the tracks faded after France."

"Back to my home town, away from home," Duke laughed. "What a coincidence!"
