Encyclopedia > Peredur

Peredur Arueu Dur, King of Ebrauc (c.510-580) was an early English or Welsh King.


He ruled Ebrauc jointly with his twin-brother, Gwrgi and is supposedly the founder of the town of Pickering (North Yorkshire). Peredur and Gwrgi are the sons of King Eliffer Gosgorddfawr. According to Welsh legend, Eliffer was killed when they were still young and Peredur spent much of his life wreaking vengeance on his father's killers.


(Welsh: Peredur; Latin: Peredurus; English: Percival)

Holy Grail - Crystalinks (4459 words)
The Welsh romance Peredur (generally included in the Mabinogion), based on Chretien's poem but including very striking differences from it.
Other authors had their own ideas; Robert de Boron portrayed it as the vessel of the Last Supper, and Peredur had no Grail per se, presenting the hero instead with a platter containing his kinsman's bloody, severed head.
In Parzival, Wolfram von Eschenbach, citing the authority of a certain (probably fictional) Kyot the Provençal, claimed the Grail was a stone that fell from Heaven, and had been the sanctuary of the Neutral Angels who took neither side during Lucifer's rebellion.
