What does King Arthur send the knights on a search for?
In Chrétien de Troye's Perceval ou la Conte del Graal, the earliest extent graal romance, only Perceval and Gawain are shown to be searching for the grail. In this and most other romances the quest is primarily Perceval's personal quest. However increasingly the grail quest is seen is the central exploit of the Arthurian era. In the Prose Perceval which claims to be by Robert de Boron, when Perceval achieves the grail, that is the general end of wonderful adventures in Arthur's realm. Arthur subsequent conquest of Gaul which leads to a war with Rome is explained as an attempt to keep his knights interested by providing them with feats worthy of their valor.The prose romance Perlesvaus has Perceval, Gawain, and Lancelot all seeking the grail. And it is explained that Percveval's failure to ask the question when he first came to the grail castle has resulted in the illness of the grail king and general lethergy across all of Brtain. Even King Arthur has been affected. In the original Vulgate Arthur Cycle, consisting of the Prose Lancelot, The Quest of the Holy Grail, and The Death of Arthur, it is explained that Arthur's kingdom is afflicted with many difficult adventures, many of which are adventures of the grail. Only a promised best knight will achieve the most difficult of these adventures. Meanwhile the Knights of the Round Table do achieve many of the lesser adventures and put an end to the oppression they cause. Here first comes that idea that all Arthur's Knights of the Round Table take part in the quest of the grail.After the grail quest is achieved by Galahad, Perceval, and Bors there are no more wonderful adventures.

What is the story of the holy grail?
Answer 1The Holy Grail is the Sacred Chalice, the Cup of Hermes (that should never be spilt), it is the Lingham / Yoni of the Gnostic Christians. And yes, you spend many, many lifetimes searching for the Holy Grail. And yes, I have finally found it within Gnosis, along with the Truth. Seek and Ye shall find; narrow is the gate, and few there be that find it. Of a thousand that seek me, one finds me; and of a thousand that find me, only one is mine. You have to empty your cup of beliefs; before it can be refilled with truth. Inverrential Peace to all, I sincerely hope you find what you're looking for.Answer 2Historically, the story of the holy grail begins with Chretien de Troyes' Conte du Graal, written around 1180 to 1190. Like his other poems, this is a versified version of a Mabinogion story, Peredur son of Efrawg. However, Peredur has no holy grail, and the quest Peredur pursues is revenge for his slain uncle. It is not known where Chretien came up with the idea of a quest for the Graal, nor why he chose to attach it to the Peredur story. Chretien, himself, claims to have heard it from a welshman names Bleheris. Chretien, however, did not finish the story and there are four different endings all written by different people.Perhaps the second tale of the Grail is the anonymous Perlesvaus, dated to about 1210.The next version of the Grail story to surface is Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival, which Wolfram states came from southern France, from a man named Kyot. The date now is sometime in the first quarter of the 13th century.We next see Robert de Boron appear on the world stage, his Percival is lost, but might be very similar to the Didot Perceval. de Boron's Joseph d'Arimathe, which preceded Perceval, could have been written after1190, but before 1212, and Perceval probably within five years after that.Finally there is the Lancelot grail quest story, called the "Vulgate version", and ascribed to Walter Map, or Mapes, a confident of Eleanor of Aquitaine. This was probably written around 1250.In Chretien, the Grail is a hallows, a dish which is mated by a sword, a spear and a plate. It (the Grail) feeds the crowd by having food magically appear in it. In Wolfram, the grail is a stone that fell from heaven and is an oracle, because words which occasionally form around the edge of it tell the future.It's not until Robert de Boron's Joseph that the Grail takes on it's modern form as the cup Jesus used at the last supper, then which Joseph of Arimathea used to catch his blood, then somehow transported to Britain.
