«The Templars» is the historical essay by Piers Paul Read, published by Orion in paperback (368 pages, in English).
It recounts the history of the order of the Knights Templar, from their role as warrior monks in the Crusades to their dissolution. Read examines their military power, banking activities, and the accusations of heresy and sodomy that led to the trials against the order, separating the documented from the legendary.
The 2001 paperback edition reproduces the subtitle 'The Dramatic History of the Knights Templar, the Most Powerful Military Order of the Crusades'; the work was originally published in 1999.
Recommended for readers interested in medieval history, the Crusades, and the role of military religious orders.
British writer (born 1941)
