Summary
The mysterious Knights Templar originated in the Middle Ages, when pilgrims needed armed supporters to assure them safe passage to the Holy Land. Within 100 years the Templars had become a significant power by themselves, reporting directly to the pope… and, it was rumoured, in control of vast wealth - until 1307, when the French king terminated the order, dispersed its knights, and claimed its property. 2003, c1986.
