Product Description

Tens of millions of people worldwide were exposed to the mystery of Rosslyn in Dan Brown's blockbuster novel "The Da Vinci Code", and hundreds of thousands have since travelled there to marvel at its magnificent carvings and to wonder if some fabulous treasure lies buried beneath its medieval walls. The astonishing story of Rosslyn brings together a host of famous figures from history and legend, including Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, King Arthur, Merlin the Wizard, Sir Gawain, Alexander the Great, William Wallace, King Robert the Bruce, Mary Queen of Scots and Joan of Arc. Pseudo-history writers, Grail seekers and conspiracy theorists claim that the secret history of the Holy Bloodline of Christ, the Ark of the Covenant, the Lost Gospels of Christ, the embalmed head of Jesus, and the legendary treasure of the Knights Templar are all buried under Rosslyn Chapel. But what is the truth? Did the Templars really escape to Scotland? Does the enchanted White Lady of Rosslyn actually guard the Holy Grail? Was Rosslyn Chapel built to hide the Treasure of the Temple of Jerusalem? After 500 years shrouded in mystery and legend, the true story of the chapel, the castle and the Knights of the Round Table is revealed. With material culled from Dark Age and medieval sources, this startling book holds the key to the mystery of Rosslyn.

3.0 out of 5 stars Rosslyn and the Grail, 25 Oct 2006
By G. Tennant (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Whilst trying to put forward a view based in 'fact' I am afraid that these two historians contradict themselves. They criticise many what they call 'psuedo historians' whatever that might mean for taking the word of Father Hay as gospel then do just that when it suits their theory.
They try to disprove the possible survival of Knights Templar in Scotland by quoting a small amount about Templar trials in Scotland but neglect to tell you only two Knights were tried both of them english and neither of them executed in fact they were absolved.
They also discount that there was a contingenct of Templars at Bannockburn - but can they trully discount the possibility that they were their, but not wearing their Templar livery no one realised they were Templars.
An interesting read but not as convincing an argument as they may think - perhaps 2000 years of dogma have taken their toll on them like many other historians in the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating read, 1 Nov 2005
By Susan (Bedford) - See all my reviews
This book provides not only a superb account of the medieval history of Rosslyn Chapel, but also a wonderful account of many local myths and legends. From the authors who clearly have an in-depth knowledge of the subject, their enthusiasm is transmitted for this beautiful location.

I was really interested in the decoding of the chapel's carvings, it is the most cogent and logical explanation I have seen - on a topic that attracts many wierd theories.

It was a pleasure to find a book about Rosslyn that does the chapel proud.
