Description

The Knights Templar have an enduring reputation, but one they would hardly recognise. Originally established to protect pilgrims in the twelfth century, the Order is now remembered for heresy and fanaticism. In this bold new interpretation, Steve Tibble sets out to correct the record. Tibble argues that the Templars were dedicated peace-mongers at home, influencing royal strategy and policy, creating financial structures, and brokered international peace treaties. Their role was crucial in shaping medieval Britain, as they helped establish an early English state while fighting on behalf of the Christian Middle East. From their rise under Henry I to their violent suppression following the fall of Acre, Tibble reveals the true legacy of the British Templars.
