The Quest for the Holy Grail was the greatest and noblest of all quests for King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table. The Holy Grail was believed to be the cup used by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper, and it was the cup that caught Christ's blood when he was thrust in the side with a spear at his crucifixion. Merlin will awaken, however, when King Arthur rises again to lead Britain through a period of her greatest peril. Arthur was reared by Sir Ector, whom he believed to be his natural father. King Uther had died in the meantime and for years Britain was torn by feuds over the kingship.
For the first time, convincing locations have been found for all King Arthurs inspiration for King Arthurs Battle for Britain came from Erics discovery of an ancient Latin text in the British Library that listed the twelve battles of King Arthur/5. Arthur was first identified as a fictional high king from Britain’s past by a monk of Welsh origin, Geoffrey of Monmouth, who chronicled ‘Historia Regum Brittaniae’ – “The History of the Kings of Britain” – early in the 12th Century. In a masterpiece of medieval prose he defined – in latin – the earliest coherent version of the Arthurian legend.
