This means that Sion and Wyvern/Woëvre can be correlated with one another. This correlation confirms that it is forest of Woëvre that is the relevant answer to the question of: Where is King Dagobert II.
END QUOTE
You and I agree that the statement about King Dagobert II is in truth a question that is asking for the name of a location as an answer.
I disagree with you that the answer to that question is Wyvern, Viper, Vouivre, or Woevre.
I think that the answer to the question of where the body of King Dagobert II is LA MORT, that is, 'there dead', is the Latin name of the town of Stenay, that is, 'SATHANAGIUM'.
The name Sathanagium is derived from the name of the Roman god SATURN. The Roman god SATURN has a day of the week named after him, DIES SATURNI, that is, in English, SATURN'S DAY, or SATURDAY.
Perhaps here, the author of the King Dagobert riddle has made a macaronic pun? The Latin word 'DIES', which means 'DAY' in English, also looks like the English word 'DIES', as in DIED, and King Dagobert II DIES near, and was interred in, a town named after SATURN.
I think that the name SATHANAGIUM should be thought of as a clue directing the reader to a specific word. I think that word is SATURDAY, the Day of Saturn, or, in French, the word SAMEDI.
My conclusion that SATURDAY is the intended word, receives support from the Latin text of the Small Parchment itself. That text is taken from the Gospel of Luke, chapter 6, verse 1-to-4, a text that is about Jesus and his disciples taking a walk through a field of wheat, on the SABBATH, as the Latin text itself states in the very first verse of that chapter.
'And it came to pass on the second first Sabbath that, as he went through the corn fields, his disciples plucked the ears and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.'
The SABBATH in Jewish tradition is the day of the week on which the Jews do no work, as commanded by their god, for which reason the Sabbath is referred to as 'the day of rest', from the Hebrew word 'shavat', which means 'to rest'. The Sabbath begins on Friday at sun-set, and continues through mid-night on Friday to through-out the day on SATURDAY, until sun-set on SATURDAY.
The event recorded in verses 1-to-4 of chapter 6 takes place on a SATURDAY. In the New Testament, the complete set of verses that make up the record of this event, also include verse 5 of chapter 6. The Small Parchment Text only includes verses 1-to-4 of Chapter 6, omitting the next verse, verse 5.
Verse 5 states
'And he said to them: The Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath.'
The excluded verse 5 then, emphasises the importance of the word SABBATH, that is, SATURDAY, to the event recorded in chapter 6, with the use of the title 'Lord of the Sabbath'.
Hmmm... I do not read in these verses of any mention of flying carbuncle lizards.
The next six verses in the same chapter, verses 6-to-11, continue with the theme of what is and what is not work on the Sabbath, with a second event taking place on a different Sabbath, where Jesus heals a man's

withered hand.
My answer to the King Dagobert riddle, the name SATHANGIUM, helps to emphasise the subject of the verses 1-to-4, the day of the Sabbath, and confirms that the word SATURDAY is the intended target word. This target word explains why the text of chapter 6 of the Gospel of Luke, a chapter that opens with 11 verses about two events that take place on a Sabbath, was used to create the puzzle of the Small Parchment.
How would the word 'Saturday' be useful as a type of information to the reader? As the target word is the name of a DAY, I think that the Small Parchment is an INVITATION to go to an event at a location at a specific time. An invitation to attend a some-thing at a some-where requires a some-when.
If my idea does not convince the reader, then I invite
the reader to consider
that the setting of verses 1-to-4, that of the field of wheat, and the actions that take place in that crop field, that of the plucking of, and the eating of, ears of wheat, and the subject of those verses, that of the Sabbath, and my conclusion that the intended target word is Saturday, is,
BY THEME,
made whole by the fact that the Roman god Saturn is described as a god of agriculture, and is depicted by the Romans as holding a sickle for the harvesting of grain crops, like that of wheat, and that Saturn is also described as a god of the passage of TIME. What is a DEI, if not a measurement of time?
