The 2003 conspiracy fiction novel The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown makes reference to this book, also liberally using most of the above claims as key plot elements;[8] indeed, in 2005 Baigent and Leigh unsuccessfully sued Brown's publisher, Random House, for plagiarism, on the grounds that Brown's book makes extensive use of their research and that one of the characters is named Leigh, has a surname (Teabing) which is an anagram of Baigent, and has a physical description strongly resembling Henry Lincoln. Once there, they intermarried with the noble families that would eventually become the Merovingian dynasty, whose special claim to the throne of France is championed today by a secret society called the Priory of Sion.

These kinds of books do appeal to an enormous audience who believe them to be 'history', but actually they aren't history, they are a kind of parody of history.

After a failed attempt to gain influence in the court of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, Sergei Nilus was supposed to have changed the original text to forge an inflammatory tract in 1903 in order to discredit the esoteric clique around Papus by implying they were Judaeo-Masonic conspirators, but he ignored some esoteric Christian elements, which hence remained unchanged in the published antisemitic canard. There are many concepts in this book, some are very dubious, and others seem downright plausible. As a biography of Jesus, it is fatally flawed. The photos creeped me out, and I daydreamed about the possibility that the Knights Templar really had links to Jesus Christ, and that the Freemasons were more than just a bunch of weird old guys that did some boring, yet secret, junk in an old building downtown. As fiction, Holy Blood, Holy Grail may have some merit. "[24] The programme concluded that, in the opinion of the presenter and researchers, the claims of Holy Blood were based on little more than a series of guesses. The court ruled that, in effect, because it was published as a work of (alleged) history, its premises legally could be freely interpreted in any subsequent fictional work without any copyright infringement.

Start by marking “Holy Blood, Holy Grail” as Want to Read: Error rating book. If one approaches this with the right spirit; which is to say, with an open mind, but with the desire to do lots of independent.

Laura Miller The Last Word column on how Dan Brown's thriller The Da Vinci Code has put 1980's best seller Holy Blood, Holy Grail by Michael Biagent, Richard Leigh and Henry Lincoln back on …
Pierre Plantard stated on the Jacques Pradel radio interview on 'France-Inter', 18 February 1982:.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 40px}.mw-parser-output .templatequote .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;padding-left:1.6em;margin-top:0}, I admit that 'The Sacred Enigma' (French title for 'The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail') is a good book, but one must say that there is a part that owes more to fiction than to fact, especially in the part that deals with the lineage of Jesus. I've been meaning to buy this one for AGES only to realise I had it in French in my library (goes to say I have way too many books but that's a topic for another day)!

An interesting fairy-tale: probably better fiction that Dan Brown's. Unlike many, especially those which deal in “occult” theories of history, the authors do not carry an obvious commitment to one or another group’s version of the “truth” that will drive away readers who do not share their beliefs. Having read this I would like to read those to have the other side of the argument. [4], An international bestseller upon its release, The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail spurred interest in a number of ideas related to its central thesis.

As a historical study, it displays serious weaknesses. Ironically, the Christian Bible itself is number one on that list, as it has been argued against by other religious orders, and the contents even debated on by its own denominations. Perhaps as a result of this mention, the authors (minus Henry Lincoln) of Holy Blood sued Dan Brown for copyright infringement. This led them to the pseudohistorical Dossiers Secrets at the Bibliothèque nationale de France which, though alleging to portray hundreds of years of medieval history, were actually all written by Pierre Plantard and Philippe de Chérisey under the pseudonym of "Philippe Toscan du Plantier". How can you prove a lineage of four centuries from Jesus to the Merovingians? I admit that 'The Sacred Enigma' (French title for 'The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail') is a good book, but one must say that there is a part that owes more to fiction than to fact, especially in the part that deals with the lineage of Jesus. The Church in Spain went to great lengths to protect the vessel from the Muslim invasion in the eighth century, and years later we see the same respect and heroic courage in those who saved the cup from destruction during Spain's War of Independence and Civil War. This is definitely not the case.

"Could 'ET IN ARCADIA EGO' also perhaps be an anagram?
