MANDALABAND - IV - The Kingdom of Aragon (PR). Music [by permission]. 'The Kingdom of Aragon' is a song from the album AD - Sangreal (released February 2011), written by Jose Manuel Medina, David Rohl and Cindy Spear, with Dave Durant on vocals. The video shows locations and artefacts related to the Romano-Spanish tradition of the Holy Grail, which came from Rome to the Spanish kingdom of Aragon in the 3rd century AD. The Grail was kept in secret hiding places for several centuries, the most important of which was San Juan de la Peña which became the Grail Castle of the medieval romances. The greatest guardian of the Holy Grail was Alfonso I of Aragon who was the legendary Grail King Anfortas of Wolfram von Eschenbach's story of Parsifal. © MANDALABAND +++ www.Mandalaband.co.uk www.myspace.com/mandalaband3 www.edunitsky.com +++ Band Members: DAVID ROHL: Producer/Engineer, composer, arranger, keyboards, vocals, archaeology and the clever-clogs of the outfit.
