The High History of the Holy Grail
Description
Perlesvaus, also called The High History of the Holy Grail, is an Old French Arthurianromance dating to the first decade of the 13th century. Perlesvaus begins by explaining that its main character, Percival, did not fulfill his destiny of achieving the Holy Grailbecause he failed to ask the Fisher King the question that would heal him, events related in Chrétien's work. The author soon digresses into the adventures of knights like Lancelot and Gawain, many of which have no analogue in other Arthurian literature. Often events and depictions of characters are thoroughly at odds with other versions of the story.
