The Knights Templar were brutally crushed in the year 1307 by order of the King ofFrance and the Pope. We still struggle to understand why this order of holy warriorswas annihilated after years of courageous service in the Crusades. However, theinvestigation detailed here reveals the links between the trials of the Templars andthe witch hunt mania that was about to grip Europe for three hundred years. Theirdownfall foreshadowed a dark phase in our history. The knights were accused of horrific crimes that included spitting on the crucifix ofJesus, worshipping a demonic head, and engaging in secret rituals that disgustedmedieval Christians. Heresy and sodomy were the two main charges levelled at theTemplars. Were they framed or was there a germ of truth in the allegations? For centuries, people have wondered what happened to the fabled treasure of theTemplars, including the Holy Grail. The clues are examined to find out exactly whatthis treasure was and where it may have ended up. The most common question asked about the Knights Templar is: do they still existtoday? This book introduces you to those who claim to be the inheritors of theTemplar legacy. Is it possible that the knights survived and endured to the presentday?
