Sir Richard Arcos on the Grail

Further notes on the Holy Grail. Dr. Langdon states that the original division was Sang raal, but we note that this exists in only one late manuscript of friend Chretien. In all probability, this is a copyists error, and a common one at that, the last letter of one word migratng to the next. As for Royal Blood, one notes that the blood, not the bloodline of Jesus would have made perfect sense in the context of the Grail procession, where the holy lance dripped into the holy grail.

Oh, and I hear 0 about the Holy Lance from Langdon, although this relic is rather better attested. Or should that be because? You see, the Holy lance is a real relic, something that can be seen and handled (its is also a Carolignian forgery, but that's by the by), why then would the Grail be a metaphorical thing, given the real nature of the lance. Oh, and to the best of my knowledge, no real knights ever went searching for the Holy Grail, as King Arthur's knights had already found it. The Holy Lance and other relics, yes, the Holy Grail, no.
