The first history of the legendary knights since the Vatican
momentously released the records of their trial and exoneration
Who were the Templars? What was the secret of their wealth and
power? Why did the pope and the king of France act to destroy
them?
The Knights Templar were founded on Christmas Day 1119, on the
very spot in Jerusalem where Jesus Christ was crucified. A
religious order of fighting knights, the Templars defended the Holy
Land and Christian pilgrims in the decades after the First Crusade.
Legendary for their bravery and dedication, the Templars became one
of the wealthiest and most powerful bodies of the medieval
world--until they were condemned for heresy two centuries after
their foundation, when the order was abolished and its leaders were
burned at the stake.
In The Templars, renowned historian Michael Haag investigates
the origins and history, the enduring myths, and the soaring
architecture of an enigmatic order long shrouded in mystery and
controversy. The hand of the Templars, many believe, can be found
in everything from Cathar heresy to Masonic conspiracies, and the
Knights Templar still inspire popular culture, from Indiana Jones
to Xbox games, to the novels of Dan Brown.
