Hello xxxxxxxx,
I just did a search with dogpile:
<http://www.dogpile.com>
I got several interesting hits. The one below is especially so since it
includes Picasso and his one of his drawings, Parsifal and Hitler with your
Klingsor. If you wish more info on Landulf II of Capua I would be glad to do
more research. I enjoy your posts.

"Klingsor, a powerful black magician steals it and with it wounds Amfortas,
the King of the Guardians of The Holy Grail. He then flees with the Spear to
his castle where he dominates the surrounding area using powerful black
magic. All this while, Amfortas is destined to lay in agony from the wound
which never heals; his only hope of recovery being the Spear's return.
Parsifal, an heroic fool, is prophesied to return the Spear and heal
Amfortas. In an effort to prevent the prophecy coming true, Klingsor uses
magic to lure the hero to his Castle where his men are hiding in ambush.
Parsifal overcomes
Klingsor's men but suddenly Klingsor appears on the castle ramparts and in a
final attempt at the hero's destruction, he utters the following words:
Halt, I have the right weapon to to fell you ! The fool shall fall to me
through his master's Spear.
Klingsor hurls the Spear, but as if stopped by the hand of God, it hovers
motionless above Parsifal's head. Parsifal reaches up and grasps the Spear
and with it makes the Sign of the Cross, saying these words:
With this sign I rout your enchantment,
As the Spear closes the wound which you dealt him with it
may it crush your lying splendour,
into mourning and ruin.
Klingsor and his Castle then sink into the sea as if hit by an earthquake,
and the gardens that once surrounded the castle turn into a wasteland.
Parsifal restores the Spear and heals Amfortas of his wound. He then becomes
anointed as the new King of the Guardians of The Holy Grail."
In the 1934 (Picasso) drawing this pivotal scene is portrayed by the spear
hovering above Picasso's head. The spear runs along the top edge of the
drawing and when the image is rotated 90 degrees to the left it forms the
shaft of a huge letter 'P" in conjunction with the black semi-circle in the
upper right corner. The 'P' denotes a cryptic Picasso signature and refers to
the artist's identifications with 'Pica' and Parsifal.
The central figure is identifiable with Parsifal reaching up and making the
Sign of the Cross.
His 'flying hand' concealed within the island of light in the right hand
figure's face can be seen to be blocking Klingsor's advance, it is located
immediately to the left of Klingsor's face which in turn seems to descend
from the rear end of the spear in the upper right corner.
The figure on the right would seem to characterise Kundry, the witch who was
present at Christ's Crucifixion and who under Klingsor's spell attempts to
seduce Parsifal. In the drawing she appears possessed by Lucifer or the
Devil, both of whom are appropriate characterisations of Klingsor.
Behind the hidden face there is a trident form, which seems to reinforce the
hidden face's connection with Lucifer.
According to Dr Walter Stein and others, Hitler was convinced that in the
ninth century he had been incarnated as the historical Klingsor, sometimes
known as Landulf II of Capua !
Stein had been a acquaintance of Hitler in the years preceding World War One
and claimed that Hitler had at that time undertaken a penetrating study of
Von Eschenbach's story and fathomed it's deepest occult meanings.
The self identification of Picasso with Parsifal and the self-identification
of Hitler with Klingsor appears by some uncanny means to have found its way
into the 1934 drawing which might indicate that Picasso had access to
secretive information about Hitler and his occult activities at least five
years before the Second World War.

Hello again xxxxxxxxx,
Here's something about the historical Landulf II.
Most of the hits on dogpile were about the Nazi's and the Occult.
It's amazing where the research for the topics on this list takes you.
"875 CE LANDULF II of CAPUA excommunicated from Sicily when his alliance with
Islam was unveiled. According to the medieval Chronicler Echempertus he had,
in the mountains of Monte Castello in the southwest of Sicily, discovered the
Temple of Erix at which priestesses had once guarded the Oracle of Venus.
(Qal'at al-Bellut, the Fortress of the Oaks). There he is said to have
performed evil rituals and according to A. Hitlers personal notes from c. 1910
he was the source of Klingsor in Eschenbach's Parsifal."
xxxxxxxx
