Chur (Saxon, from Machiavellian curia, "court"; Sangunese: 癒, Iyasu; "to heal", a translation of the Saxon homonym of the lordship kur-, "to heal") is a lordship in the province of Monovia (Two Martyrs, Natopia). The lordship is, since 1688, vested in Frederik Anders. A garrison for the lordship is provided by the ESB-Brunïakis-Afzælt.
