Publisher's Synopsis
The medieval historian who revealed The Real History Behind the Da Vinci Code, uncloaks the Templars. Sharan Newman elucidates the mysteries and misconceptions of the Templars, from their true first founding and role in the Crusades to more modern intrigues including: Were they devout knights or heretics? Did they leave behind a fantastic treasure? How did they come to be associated with the Holy Grail? Does the order still exist?
