Seven hundred years after the dissolution of the order, the trial
of the Templars still arouses enormous controversy and speculation.
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 and other crimes. In 1312, Pope
Clement V, at the Council of Vienne, dissolved the order. Since the
1970s, there has been increasing scholarly interest in the trial,
and a series of books and articles have widened scholars'
understanding of causes of this notorious affair, its course and
its aftermath. However, many gaps in knowledge and understanding
remain. What were the Templars doing in the months and years before
the trial? Why did the king of France attack the Order? What
evidence is there for the Templars' guilt? What became of the
Templars and their property after the end of the Order? This book
collects together the research of both junior and senior scholars
from around the world in order to establish the current state of
scholarship and identify areas for new research. Individual
chapters examine various aspects of the background to the trial,
the financial, political and religious context of the trial in
France, the value of the Templars' testimonies, and consider the
trial across the whole of Europe, from Poland and Cyprus to Ireland
and Portugal. Rather than trying to close the discussion on the
trial of the Templars, this book opens a new chapter in the ongoing
scholarly debate.
