Suddenly a wild swan falls wounded at the feetof Gurnemanz, and two Knights appear dragging theinnocent Parsifal, who had shot it, not knowing itwas under the Kings protection. He is reproachedby Gurnemanz and questioned, but can tell little ofhimself. He remembers that his mother was calledHerzeleid and lived in a forest. Kundry, whose atten-tion is attracted, explains that the youths father wasGamuret, and after his death in battle his mothertook him away from the haunts of men lest he meetthe same fate. She is now dead, and Parsifal is awanderer. The train of Amforlas again approaches, returningfrom the lake.
