Product Description
Review
‘Established twenty years after the First Crusade’s capture of Jerusalem from the Muslims, the Templars evolved into one of the most powerful military orders of the Middle Ages. The story of their rise and sensational fall is the subject of this splendid book.’ The Observer
‘This splendid history does away with the nonsense surrounding the Templars … and sets them firmly within the context of Medieval society.’ Good Book Guide
Product Description
The Order of the Temple, founded in 1119 to protect pilgrims around Jerusalem, developed into one of the most influential corporations in the medieval world. It has retained its hold on the modern imagination thanks to the dramatic events of the Templars’ trial and abolition two hundred years later, and has been involved in historical mysteries from masonic conspiracy to the survival of the Turin shroud. Malcolm Barber’s lucid narrative separates myth from history in this full and detailed account of the Order, from its origins, flourishing and suppression to the Templars’ historical afterlife.
