The definitive history of the Order of the Temple. Jerusalem, 1119. After the violence of the First Crusade, a small group of knights in search of redemption decides to found a new religious order with the goal of protecting Christian pilgrims on their journeys to the Holy Land. From this humble origin, the Templars would grow over the next two centuries to become the richest and most powerful religious order in Christendom. Dan Jones explores the thrilling history of the Order of the Temple, intertwined with the crusades in the Holy Land and Spain, creating a vivid portrait of the Templars, from their combat in iconic white tunics with a large red cross to the sophisticated financial network they wove throughout Europe.
Daniel Gwynne Jones is a British popular historian, novelist, television presenter, and journalist. He received his education from Pembroke College, Cambridge.
