- Fair for Its Day: The poem features a half-white, half-Moor brother of the main character called Feirefiz. While the author, Wolfram von Eschenbach, claimed that Feirefiz would have skin that alternated black-and-white because of this (like a magpie), Feirefiz is treated much more decently than most other pagans in Arthurian Legend — he gets baptized, sees the Holy Grail, marries the Grail-maiden, and goes back home to a happy ending.
