Description
The Knights Templar in Yorkshire offers an intimate look at medieval life during the Templars' stay in the county. Yorkshire was not only the largest county in Britain, but also one of the wealthiest in terms of land ownership and population. This book explores ten major Templar sites established in the region, revealing how the inhabitants lived, farmed their land, ate, were taxed, and local legends surrounding them. The volume is illustrated with photographs and specially commissioned maps, providing a unique insight into this period of history. By examining these Templar sites, readers can gain a better understanding of what life was like for those living in Yorkshire during the medieval era.
