2. THE HOLY GRAIL
 According to the source consulted, the Holy Grail was the dish
which Christ used at the Last Supper or the cup with that
collected the blood of his crucifixion. It depends on what
tradition, it would have been taken to England, along with the
spear that pierced Christ's side, and left under the protection
of a guardian of the Holy Grail or Fisher King. The legend tells
how, having been wounded Fisher King's father (King
Disabled), the land was barren, but could only heal and return
prosperity if a pure-hearted gentleman found the grail that
would put the right questions. The search becomes the test of
purity and value of each of the knights and the Grail begins
when a vision appears in Arthur and his knights.
While this is a Christian legend, its origin dates back to Celtic
mythology, which are common cornucopias and pots
(including one with power to raise) and searches in which the
hero has to go into the other world to win a valuable prize.

4. ROBERT DE BORON
 The work of Chretien de Troyes mark
the beginning of the legend, but
would be Robert de Boron and
Wolfram von Eschenbach those who
would develop the way he met
medieval Europe. Robert de Boron,
Joseph d'Arimathie and in the San
Graal Estoire is responsible for
transforming the "grail" of Chretien in
"The Holy Grail." This spiritualized the
simple English author mentioned by
the French dish and turns it into the
cup of the Last Supper, the same as
holding the legends, Joseph of
Arimathea used to collect the blood
after the wounds during the
crucifixion of Christ. Boron is also the
first to say that Joseph and his family
brought the Grail to unspecified parts
of Britain.
