In October 1307 all the brothers of the military religious Order of
the Temple in France were arrested on the instructions of King
Philip IV and charged with heresy. In November, Pope Clement V
instructed King Edward II of England to do likewise. This volume
provide the first full translation of the four surviving texts of
the trial proceedings that followed in Britain and Ireland,
complementing the edition published in volume 1. The trial of the
Templars was the first major heresy trial in the British Isles, and
the proceedings reveal the Episcopate's attempts to deal with this
unprecedented situation, the varying procedures followed in
different countries, and how testimonies were recorded and
summarised for the Church Councils which eventually decided the
fate of the Order of the Temple. The testimonies given during the
trial contain a wealth of information about religious beliefs among
the lay population of the British Isles (both the Templars and
outsiders who gave evidence during the trial), national and
international mobility of lay religious, the social function of the
order of the Temple in the British Isles and its relations with
society at large, and the organisation and operations of the Order
of the Temple at a local, national and international level.
Detailed introductions to each volume describe the manuscripts and
how the material was compiled and arranged, and discuss the course
of the proceedings and the value of the evidence they contain.
Appendices in this volume also list the names of all the Templars
mentioned during the proceedings, Templar houses and the locations
of the proceedings in London.
