Galicia

Galice, Galise, Galys

A historical kingdom in northwest Spain. The Holy Grail has been the Kingdom of Galicia's national symbol for almost a millenium. An English armorial dated the 13th century gives the earliest notice of the Holy Grail appearing as the arms of the kings of Galys.

The earliest depection was a single golden chalice over a blue field. On the 16th century crosses and angels were decorating the area around the Grail, and today it has no angels.

Wolfram says that Perceval’s uncle Trevrizent held fortresses there.

In Claris et Laris, it is ruled by King Jonas, who is defeated by Claris and Laris.
