Description

In 1119, certain noblemen (the Templars) found their calling as protectors of the faithful on a dangerous pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Appearing as saviors, they spawned Arthurian legends -- but their arrogance, wealth, and secrecy made them targets of hatred and violence. Today, the Templars have been construed as everything from a Masonic society to archaic keepers of the Holy Grail. Here, Newman elucidates the mysteries and misconceptions of the Templars, incl.: Were they devout knights or secret heretics? Is there a connection between the Templars and Friday the 13th? Did they leave behind a fantastic treasure? How did they come to be associated with the Holy Grail? Did they come to America before Columbus? Does it still exist? Illus.
