Summary "The High History of the Holy Graal" by Sebastian Evans is a medieval romance written in the early half of the 13th century, originally in Old French and translated into English in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the legendary quest for the Holy Grail, a significant symbol in Arthurian legend, exploring themes of chivalry, honor, and divine grace through the experiences of noble knights like King Arthur and Sir Perceval. The beginning of the tale introduces the narrative of the Holy Graal and its significance, explaining that it contains the blood of Christ, safeguarded by virtuous knights who are devoted to the teachings of Jesus. Focused on the lineage of a noble knight, the text describes King Arthur’s court during a time of moral decline, emphasizing a loss of valor among his knights. As events unfold, Arthur sets out on a quest sparked by a prophetic dream, accompanied by the squire Chaus. This prepares the ground for a series of adventures tied to the Graal's destiny, encapsulating the overarching struggle between good and evil and the personal redemptions of its characters.
