The Templars

The definitive guide to the Templars - from Solomon's Temple to the Freemasons.

The definitive guide to Templars' history, legends and mysteries - and the belief that their hand can be seen in everything from the Cathar heresy to Masonic conspiracies.

Description

An order of warrior monks founded to protect pilgrims to Jerusalem, the Templars were among the most powerful bodies in the medieval world. Yet two centuries later, they were accused of blasphemy, heresy, and orgies, and their leaders were burnt at the stake.

Part guide, part history, The Templars investigates the Templar legends and legacy—from the mysteries of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, via the nineteenth century development of the Freemasons, through to Templar appearances in Dan Brown and Indiana Jones.

This book explains the whole context of Templar history, including the recent evidence discovered by the Vatican that the Templars were not guilty of heresy. It also features a guide to Templar castles and sites.
