The Rolandseck Legend of Matilda and the Sable Knight
A Victorian tale set at Rolandseck follows Matilda daughter of Wolfenger and her betrothed de Rosenberg. A mysterious sable knight disrupts the wedding, unveils Maurice Fitzurse’s skeleton visage, and claims Matilda. She faints, Maurice’s ghostly pledge is invoked, and Matilda vanishes with the knight. The castle falls to ruin as locals hear the spectre’s cries.
