The vulgar notion that the Templars were as wicked as they were
fearless and brave, has not yet been entirely exploded; but it is
hoped that the copious account of the proceedings against the order
in this country... will tend to dispel many unfounded prejudices
still entertained against the fraternity, and excite emotions of
admiration for their constancy and courage, and of pity for their
unmerited and cruel fate. Hard-to-find in print, this history of
the elusive sect of military friars and their contributions to the
romantic history of the last millennium is a fascinating look at
one of the most secret of secret societies. Writing in the mid 19th
century, British barrister CHARLES GREENSTREET ADDISON (d. 1866)
explores: . origin of the Templars . the gallant action and high
discipline of the Templars . the extraordinary privileges of the
Templars . the vast holdings of the Templars in England . quarrels
with the King of England . Richard the Lionheart's relationship
with the order . the conquest of Jerusalem . "rack-extorted
confessions" . and much more.
