Kings of the Grail: Tracing the Historic Journey of the Holy Grail from Jerusalem to Spain by Margarita Torres Sevilla and Jose Miguel Ortega Del Rio
Described by reviewers as ‘an explosive book’, the authors present a compelling account of their investigation of the Holy Grail, beginning with an ancient Egyptian parchment and ending in Spain, leading to a new alternative history of this ancient sacred and mysterious object, which is known to us from Arthurian legends, stories of the troubadours, Christian history and occult tales of the imagination. Drawing on evidence from historical and scientific sources, this three-year 21st Century Grail quest moves from Jerusalem in the 1000s to the caliph of the Fatimid dynasty, the Muslim prince of Dénia (Spain) and finally to Ferdinand I of León and Castile. Discussing the history of Judaism, The Last Supper and early Christianity, this book includes an overview of other vessels believed to be the Holy Grail. This fascinating book will appeal to those interested in history, medieval Europe, students of Western Esotericism, magic, the occult and Grail legends, as well as the general reader. Is it the final word on the origin and provenance of the Holy Grail? We invite you to read and decide.
