Where can you see an effigy of a Templar? What prompted King John
to hand England over to an Italian? Who worked for the Templars in
Yorkshire? The Knights Templar in Yorkshire answers all these
questions and many more. This new book explores what medieval life
was like during the Templars' stay in Yorkshire. Not only was it
the biggest county in Britain, but in Templar terms it was also the
richest. They owned more land, property and people in Yorkshire
than in any other county in England. This fascinating volume takes
the reader on an intimate tour of the ten major Templar sites
established in Yorkshire, and reveals what life was like for their
inhabitants - how the land was farmed, what the population ate, how
they were taxed and local legends. Illustrated with an intriguing
collection of photographs and specially commissioned maps, this
book is sure to appeal to anyone interested in medieval history.
