The order of the Knights Templar, which existed for about two
centuries in the Middle Ages, was created after the First Crusade
of 1096 to ensure the safety of European pilgrims to Jerusalem
after its conquest. Officially endorsed by the Catholic church in
1129, the order became a favoured charity across Europe, and grew
rapidly in membership and power. Templar knights, easily
recognisable in their white mantle with a distinct red cross, were
some of the best equipped, trained, and disciplined fighting units
of the Crusades. When the Holy Land was lost and the Templars
suffered crushing defeats, support for the Order faded. Rumours
about the Templars' secret initiation ceremony created mistrust,
and King Philip IV of France, on 13 October 1307 had many of the
order's members in France arrested, tortured into 'confession' and
burned at the stake. This book is provides an A to Z of the Knights
Templar.
