The Templars were members of a monastic order established in 1099
after the success of the First Crusade. Enjoying the support of
both the Church and the laity and vowed to poverty, chastity and
obedience, these 'fighting monks' were the vital defenders of the
holy places of the Latin States in Palestine and Syria. A unique
collection of translated sources documenting the origins of the
Order and the circumstances of its suppression and dissolution.
Offers a valuable insight into the lives of those who joined,
supported, and attacked this most fascinating and enigmatic of
institutions. Examines the many and varied facets of the Order's
activities during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. There is no
other book of translated sources devoted in its entirety to the
Templars. -- .
