what is the background history of the quest,i.e. for the holy grail?

If you fancy reading a good novel which will tell you the background, then get "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown which will give you a good start.

Those who believed Jesus died on the cross sometimes believed his lost blood was collected, in part, in a chalice "this is the chalic of my blood".There was a very strong following that jesus was married to mary magdalen and that as the repository of his semen, producing heirs, that she was the "holy grail". A bloodline exists back to both of them which was the carolingian Empire...they ot ruling but benevolently overseeing and creating wonders while the mayors ruled, a little like France today. Peppy the fat had the "last " carolingian assassinated after he returned from Ireland where he had grown up, as his kidnappers...organised by the Pope...could not bring themselved to kill the child. He learned his reality and returned to "France"..;and was murdered allegedly with a spear through the eye as he slept on a hunting expeditio. The Merovingian rulers commenced then. Mary Magdelen's remains can be viewed in the superb Church at St Maximan la Sante Baume in provence as can her cabe at Nin des Pins also, not far away...The search for the holy Grail is a spiritual dream which can take hold of people and some are regarded as "special" It took a hold of me, my psyche if you like, about age 6 and has been a part of my life since.The Arthurian Myth sought to put values and realities in a coded form and was a brilliant success...so long as you read the original...well as original as possible!!
