Lonazep is a castle in Le Morte d'Arthur that serves as a landmark and tournament site in the Tristram and Palomides narratives. Characters ride "until they were ware of the Castle Lonazep" (Le Morte d'Arthur, Book X, Ch. LVIII) and prepare "to ride toward Lonazep" (Le Morte d'Arthur, Book X, Ch. LXV). The castle also features as the site of a tournament referenced in Sir Epinogris's account of winning his lady: "as the earl and two knights came from the tournament of Lonazep, for her sake I set upon this earl and on his two knights" (Le Morte d'Arthur, Book X, Ch. LXXXIII).
