It truly was a colossus of its age, the first uniformed standing army since the days of the Roman empire and, off the battlefield, the first truly multinational organisation. Great landowners, industrialists and traders, the Knights also introduced banking — the linchpin of the modern world — to Europe. In a dazzlingly swift rise from the early twelfth century, they amassed huge wealth and exerted commensurate power, their leaders walking with kings and princes and enjoying the favour of popes.In less than two hundred years, they were gone. The warrior monks disappeared from history into myth, their true nature forgotten and woven into fantasy.Today, though, there is a renewed interest in the ancient Order. New research has revealed the extent of its influence and thrown light on its last days. Modern authors have been inspired by the Knights, who have resurfaced in fiction, academic history and contemporary mythology.And the material traces they left behind can still be seen — from these much of their story can be read. Simon Brighton’s lifelong interest in the Templars gives him a unique perspective — over many years he has extensively researched and repeatedly visited the many sites in Britain, often uncovering Templar traces that had been overlooked. All along he has kept a meticulous photographic record, from the grandest tomb to the tiniest piece of cryptic graffiti. With his intimate knowledge Simon Brighton gives a clear, visitor-friendly guide to each site, evoking the life and death of that most enigmatic body of men — the Knights Templar.". || The book is on the shelf and ready to post from Bath by a real bookseller, packed properly, despatched promptly and personally guaranteed (in addition to your normal rights).

Shop-Beschreibung

BookLovers of Bath is based in the rural idyll of Peasedown St. John in Somerset (God's Own Country) in the south west of England and actually very nearly in Bath. After 20 years of being “internet only” I have now opened a shop, Fact or Fable, in the premises of our now-closed Post Office. With over 10,000 books in my, recently shrunken, storage unit and another 5,000 or so in the shop I run an old-fashioned book business with every book listed, graded, picked, packed and posted by my own fair hand… abetted by my Jack Russells who are really, not, helpful.
