(Book 6 pp12-13,DWR p154)

This 'nation' is barely described in the Dragon Warriors* gamebooks, lying landlocked between Algandy* and Chaubrette* in the Western Mainland*.

Approximation

Two options currently exist for the real-world counterpart to the Duchy of Lavasse, as follows:

1) It is suggested that the Duchy represents, in European Dark Ages history, the kingdoms of upper and lower Burgundy combined.

OR

2) Given it's geographical location and name, it is suggested that Lavasse is an analogue of the Middle Ages country of Navarre, which was sandwiched between France, Leon and Barcelona (i.e. France and 'Spain').
