This first book takes you from the events leading up to the Crusades – then the founding of the Knights Templar – how they grew in numbers and wealth – the battles and intrigues – then on to their mass arrest, torture, trials, and eventual death by burning of the last grand master: Jacques de Molay.

What to expect in this first book:

  • The mysterious letter from the east that provoked The Crusades
  • The reasons why the Templars were founded – their mission statement
  • How did the Knights Templar get so rich, so quickly?
  • Why medieval Europe got Templar fever in the 12th century!
  • What connects the Templars to the legends of King Arthur?
  • Did you know that Gaza was a Templar stronghold?
  • The Templars versus The Assassins – what was the truth behind this?
  • Why did the King of France turn on the Templars?
  • The arrests, trials, and executions of the Knights Templar
  • How have the Templars been interpreted down the centuries?
  • Do the Templars still exist today?
