Holy Grail and 11th Century Conflicts

The video explores the history of a cup believed to be the Holy Grail, which was kept in Jerusalem for 500 years before disappearing in 909 AD. In 2014, historian Margarita Torres discovered a medieval text in Egypt, suggesting the cup was given to King Ferdinand of Spain by a Muslim ruler to prevent invasion. The video discusses the religious tensions and looting in 11th-century Jerusalem, which led to the cup's transfer to Spain as a political strategy.
