Description: "The discovery of an overlooked Arthurian story, buried in a longer poem, gives a geographical location for the Grail's original hiding place in Britain - the White Abbey, an Augustan priory in Shropshire. Research reveals that the Grail was one of several treasures removed from the temple of Jerusalem, which were taken in 1410 AD from Rome to the safety of Viroconium - modern day Shrewsbury - virtually the last vestige of Roman civilization This book examines the poem "Sir Gawain and the Red Knight", written in 1610 by Lord Vernon, who had been responsible for renovating the Abbey ruins."--Publisher's description.
