The History of the Holy Grail was written after the events described in Lancelot and The Quest for the Holy Grail were already an established part of the Arthurian story. It is, in Hollywood terms, a ̀prequel', and relates the story of the Grail from its first appearance at the Crucifixion up to the point where it is placed by Alain, the Fisher King, in the castle of Corbenic, whose inhabitants then await the arrival of the chosen Grail knight. Many points in the narrative are designed to foreshadow or to explain the later adventures connected with the Grail, but it also draws on the stories in the apocryphal gospels and other legends of the Crucifixion such as the story of Veronica, as well as unrelated material such as the story of Hippocrates. Less chivalric in tone than the subsequent books of the Vulgate Cycle, it also provides many details about the Grad itself which are not found elsewhere. --Book Jacket.
