«The Last of the Templars» is a historical novel by William Watson, published by HarperCollins in paperback (288 pages, in English).
After the fall of Acre in 1291, the last Templars flee to Europe with the order's treasure while Philip of France plots their destruction. Beltrán, a veteran soldier-monk born in the Holy Land and keeper of the Rule, witnesses the end of the order: his companions fall into the hands of the Inquisition and the Grand Master is burned at the stake.
The work originally appeared as «Beltram in Exile» in 1979; this edition is the 1992 reprint by HarperCollins.
For readers of historical fiction and medieval novels about the Knights Templar.
William Watson, Baron Watson, was a Scottish lawyer and Conservative Party politician. He was Lord Advocate, the most senior Law Officer in Scotland, from 1876 to 1880, and was then appointed a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary.
