Description
What became of the Knights Templar? Arrested in 1307, dissolved in 1312 and with their last Grand Master executed by 1314, the Templars have been the subject of many theories about their possible survival. Alan Butler and Stephen Dafoe examine those theories against new evidence, from the fate of the Templar fleet and the retreat to Scotland to the Portuguese years, the Americas, the Rose Cross and Freemasonry.
Along the way they put forward a new theory of their own: that the Templars survived virtually intact, and may still be a potent force in the world today. Readable and closely argued, for the serious student of Templarism and the interested reader alike.
