«Les Templiers : Chevaliers du Christ» is the historical essay by Régine Pernoud, published by Gallimard in paperback (128 pages, in French).
In 1118, after the Christian conquest of Jerusalem, Frankish knights devoted themselves to protecting pilgrims in the Holy Land. Régine Pernoud follows the Order of the Temple from its role as soldier-monks and farmers to that of bankers to kings and lords, a power that precipitated its downfall with the arrest of 1307 ordered by Philip IV.
It belongs to the Découvertes Gallimard collection; the work was originally published in 1974.
For readers interested in medieval history and religious military orders.
Régine Pernoud was a French historian and archivist. Pernoud was one of the most prolific medievalists in 20th century France; more than any other single scholar of her time, her work advanced and expanded the study of Joan of Arc.
