Hmmm, The Sword and the Grail appears to be an attempt at alternative history, where the author posits that an ancestor, Prince Henry St Clair of Orkney, travelled to North America long before Columbus. The usual suspects make an appearance; The Knights Templar, the Masons and Rosslyn Chapel, amongst others, and a lot of circumstantial evidence at best is deemed fact. ( )
