DESCRIPTION
Jerusalem, 1119: A small group of knights searching for a objective within the violent aftermath of the First Campaign decides to arrange a brand new order. These are the primary Knights of Templar, a band of elite warriors ready to provide their lives to guard Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land. Over the following 200 years, the Templars would change into essentially the most highly effective non secular order of the medieval world. Their legend has impressed fervent hypothesis ever since. However who have been they, and what truly occurred? On this groundbreaking narrative historical past, the best-selling creator of The Plantagenets tells the true story of the Templars for the primary time in a era, drawing on in depth authentic sources to construct a gripping account of those Christian holy warriors whose heroism and depravity have so typically been shrouded in delusion. The Templars have been protected by the pope and sworn to strict vows of celibacy. They fought the forces of Islam in hand-to-hand fight on the sunbaked hills the place Jesus lived and died. They discovered their nemesis in Saladin, who vowed to drive all Christians from the lands of Islam. They have been specialists at channeling cash throughout borders. They established the medieval world’s first international financial institution and waged personal wars towards anybody who threatened their pursuits. Then, in 1307, as they struggled to safe their final strongholds within the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Templars fell afoul of the vindictive and impulsive king of France. On Friday, October 13, tons of of brothers have been arrested en masse, imprisoned, tortured, and disbanded amid accusations of lurid sexual misconduct and heresy. They have been tried by the Vatican in secret proceedings. However have been they heretics or victims of a ruthlessly repressive state? Dan Jones goes again to the sources to carry their dramatic story, so related to our personal instances, to life in an audiobook that’s without delay authoritative and compulsively listenable.
