Product Description

Synopsis
The vulgar notion that the Templars were as wicked as they were fearless and brave, has not yet been entirely exploded; but it is hoped that the copious account of the proceedings against the order in this country...will tend to dispel many unfounded prejudices still entertained against the fraternity, and excite emotions of admiration for their constancy and courage, and of pity for their unmerited and cruel fate. Hard-to-find in print, this history of the elusive sect of military friars and their contributions to the romantic history of the last millennium is a fascinating look at one of the most secret of secret societies. Writing in the mid 19th century, British barrister CHARLES GREENSTREET ADDISON (d. 1866) explores: . origin of the Templars . the gallant action and high discipline of the Templars . the extraordinary privileges of the Templars . the vast holdings of the Templars in England . quarrels with the King of England . Richard the Lionheart's relationship with the order . the conquest of Jerusalem . "rack-extorted confessions" . and much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Beginners Guide to the Knights Templar"., 13 Mar 2000
By Capt Black "Colonel Black" (County Antrim, Ulster.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The History of the Knights Templar (Paperback)
This is an excellent easy to read and digest book giving a good overall view of the history of the Knights Templar. If you are looking for a beginners guide to the Templars then you can do no better than this book.

Quite simply once lifted it is a compelling story, difficult to leave down.

Anyone who is interested in the Templars should not be without a copy of this book!

2.0 out of 5 stars factually incorrect introduction, 2 April 2000
By lloyd.carey@virgin.net (South West England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The History of the Knights Templar (Paperback)
I was distinctly disappointed in the introduction ~ not only were there several errors in both grammar and syntax, but Hatcher Childress twice quotes the date of Bannockburn as 1324, when in fact it was 10 years ealrier in 1314! Also he states that the day was won by a body of Knights Templar making a final charge late in the day ~ yet the whole content of the rest of the book is all about the Templars being in the very forefront of the fighting. So, why did they wait all day before commiting to the Scots cause at Bannockburn? Otherwise, it is an essentially 'dry' history, with too many footnotes in Latin ~ why no interpration into English? All-in-all, not what I expected,: better volumes are available.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but skip the intro, 26 Mar 2007
By G. Napier - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The History of the Knights Templar (Paperback)
I don't know why this impressive nineteenth-century history of the Templars, which dismisses the mad theories about the Templars that abounded at the time, has been published with an illiterate introduction filled with new-age nonsense about the Order. The intro is completely unrelated to the rest of the book, which Childress gives no evidence that he even read! Addison would be most offended to have such an unworthy appendage attached to his scholarly work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Justification of plagiarism
This is an excellent book on the subject but spoiled by the pathetic justification of plagiarism written by Childless, which has no bearing or relationship to the first class work... Read more
