Study of the Legend of Holy Grail's Knight and Emperor Friedrich II by the European House of Andechs Meranien. From the Viewpoint Their Aim for Ending of International Religious War "the Crusades" in 12-13th Century

Abstract

In 12-13th Century, the Legend of Holy Grail’s Knight in Europe such as Perceval in France and Parzival in Holy Roman Empire were appeared and spread. Since then they were known only the Chivalry story in Europe, not so related in international situation at the time like "the Crusades". However, my viewpoint stands that those stories of Legend were very close and strong influenced by Crusader Battle Situation and Movement on Knights of Crusade from Europe to Middle East, Africa, Asia as real history. In the same Century, one of the famous European House of Andechs Meranien ruled important Crusader’s routes and key-areas having root of the Grail Knight’s story in Europe. Finally, I wish to point out that House of Andechs Meranien conducted and supported Holy Roman Emperor Friedrich II as the ideal “Holy Grail’s King” whose ability and spirit was very multicultural and global under mutual prosperity and peace beyond the dogma of Crusades as antagonism toward religion. Therefore, he could enter peacefully in Jerusalem as King like Legend of Holy Grail’s Knight.
