Synopsis
Much has been written about the Knights Templar in recent years, most of it highly speculative and with no historical foundation. They have been associated with everything from Freemasonry to the Holy Grail, the pyramids, the Shroud of Turin and space travel. A leading specialist in the history of this legendary medieval order now writes a full account of the knights of the Order of the Temple of Solomon, to give them their full title, bringing the latest findings to a general audience. There is no other accurate popular history of the Templars currently available aimed at a general audience. Helen Nicholson is excellently qualified to write this book, since she has a specialised knowledge of the medieval legends of the Templars in the contemporary romantic and epic literature. This is important if justice is to be done to the Templars' supposed association with the Holy Grail and other medieval and modern legends. Illustrations include significant sites in the Holy Land connected with the Order, and illustrations showing kings and popes associated with the Order and saints to whom the Order had special devotion (e.g. the Blessed Virgin, St George, St Euphemia).Maps showing Templar fortifications in the Crusader States and Templar houses in Europe are included.
From the Author
This book is primarily based on my own research on the Templars, but in order to produce a truly new history I have also contacted scholars from all over Europe. There is material from France, Spain and Portugal, Italy and Ireland, Croatia, Poland and Germany, much of which English-speaking readers will never have seen before. I made the decision to avoid historical narrative which did not actually involve the Order, which gave additional space to consider aspects of the Order's history in much more detail than is usually possible. I hope that this approach will give readers a more complete picture of the Order. And talking of pictures, this book has many illustrations relating to the Templars - so if you ever wondered what Templars looked like without their armour on, look on pages 125-7. There are also pictures of Templar sites from across Europe and the Middle East, and two of St Euphemia (pp. 146-7). As for why St Euphemia (and who she is), you'll have to read the book....
