Lambard was the lord of Carcassonne in the time of the Twelve Great Battles of Gilles le Breton. He joined the Grail Companions after their deliverance of Castle Brionne, as they made their way through the shattered lowlands of Carcassonne towards the land of Quenelles. Grim Lord Lambard of Carcassonne spied the banner of the Lady of the Lake and came to their side, and together they fought their way through packs of Goblin Wolf Riders. The Companions held true, and after several weary nights the shadow of great Quenelles did fall upon them, but rejoice was denied: they were greatly vexed to sight the borders of fair Athel Loren aflame. Lambard then took part in all of the subsequent Great Battles.[1a]
