When you think of the Holy Grail your mind probably conjures 1 the image of a golden chalice that Jesus and his Apostles drank out of during the Last Supper and later caught the blood of the crucified Messiah. 2 you envision this legendary Cup of Christ in the hands of a distinguished knight, possibly the Knight Percival, 3 eternal guardian. Have you ever wondered where your image originates? No doubt it is related to the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, 4 reputed goal was to find the location of the Holy Grail, drink from the golden chalice, and then receive the sought-after prize of immortality. But the image of King Arthur and his knights is an anachronism; no such person or persons ever existed, at 5 not in the way we are made to believe. 6 to historical fact, there were two royal figures living in the 6th century, an Arthur of Dalriada and an Arthur of Wales, 7 of whom currently contend 8 the honour of being the King Arthur.
