Tempeleisen or Templeisen, Grail Knights or Knights of the Holy Grail are the names given to the guardians of the Holy Grail. They are the Grail Keepers, whose community was founded by the high initiate Titurel on the legendary Holy Mountain of Montsalvat in northern Spain. The name "Tempeleisen" was probably not chosen by chance by Wolfram von Eschenbach in his Parzival epic and is closely related to the Templar Order founded in Jerusalem around 1118[1], which carried on the Grail stream[2] and then passed it on to the Rosicrucians.
