The Knights Templar: Soldiers of Christ (Very Short History Book 2)

The Knights Templar were the defenders of the Holy Land for two centuries. Their tools were the sword and the cross, and it was a combination that transformed them into one of the most powerful and wealthy military orders of the Middle Ages. As well as their military valour, they also engaged in innovative economic and financial systems that saw them prosper with early forms of banking.

It was this economic success that was eventually behind their fall from grace. The religious world turned on the Knights Templar, and its members were tried for heresy, with the order eventually disbanded in 1312. However, rumours and myth persist to this day concerning the fate of their vast wealth, ensuring that the Templar name continues to be linked with intrigue, conspiracy and tales of buried treasure.

This very short history provides an overview of one of the most unique groups in world history, whose impacts are still felt today.

The Very Short History series gives the reader a clear, concise, and very short, account of the people and events that have shaped world history. Each book provides an entertaining and engaging narrative, allowing the reader to master the subject in the shortest time possible.
