product description
Much has been written about the Knights Templar in recent years. A leading
specialist in the history of this legendary medieval order now writes a
full account of the Knights of the Order of the Temple of Solomon, to give
them their full title, bringing the latest findings to a general audience.
Putting many of the myths finally to rest, Nicholson recounts a new history
of these storm troopers of the papacy, founded during the crusades but who
got so rich and influential that they challenged the power of kings.
