Bestselling/ popular Books: Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts, A History of Illuminated Manuscripts The Templars: The Rise and Spectacular Fall of God's Holy Warriors A band of elite warriors determined to fight to the death. A global financial network unaccountable to any government. A sinister plot founded on a web of lies. In 1119, a small group of knights seeking a purpose in the violent aftermath of the First Crusade decides to set up a new order. These are the first Knights Templar, a band of elite warriors prepared to give their lives to protect Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land. Over the next 200 years, the Templars would become the most powerful religious order of the medieval world. Their legend has inspired fervent speculation ever since. In this groundbreaking talk introduced by Christopher de Hamel, Dan Jones tells the true story of the Templars, drawing on extensive original sources to build a gripping account of these holy warriors whose heroism and alleged depravity have been shrouded in myth.
