Parzival

Wolfram von Eschenbach's 13th-century epic poem, "Parzival," continues the Grail story left unfinished by Chrétien de Troyes. This foundational work chronicles the journey of the young knight Parzival, detailing his adventures in King Arthur's court and his ultimate destiny as King of the Holy Grail, described by Wolfram as a life-giving stone.
