Book excerpt: The maritime history of the Knights Templar following the Church’s attempt to expunge them in southern France • Shows that the pirates of legend originated with the Knights Templar’s secret navy • Reveals the Templars’ secret objective to establish a new universal order based on spirituality, wisdom, and individualism--the New Jerusalem • Examines the secret history of the Templars’ influence in international politics When the Vatican condemned the Order of the Temple in 1312, many of those who escaped took to the sea. Their immediate objective was to take revenge on the Church. Recent discoveries confirm that ships of the Templar fleet that went missing at La Rochelle later reappeared--first in the Mediterranean and later in the Atlantic and Caribbean--to menace the Church’s maritime commerce. These Templar vessels often flew the famed Jolly Roger, which took its name from King Roger II of Sicily, a famed Templar who, during a public spat with the Pope in 1127, was the first to fly this flag. Opportunistic buccaneers were quick to see that vast wealth could be gained in pursuing the Templars’ harassment of the Pope’s interests on the high seas, and they spread a reign of terror across the shipping lanes of the New World. Some unaffiliated pirates, in admiration of the Templar egalitarian ideals, even formed their own secret societies, and together with the Templars were part of the ferment that gave rise to independence movements in France and the New World and contributed to the growth of Freemasonry. The Templar Pirates is the story of the birth and actual conduct of piracy on the seas of the New World and of the influence the Templars had on their constituents, and, by their wealth, on the governments of nations old and new.

Book excerpt: Have you ever felt frustrated due to lack of details about the rituals of the Knights Templars? Who were the 'Red Sea Men, ' and what was their connection to the Knights Templars? How did Templars and Pirates intersect in Madagascar? This e-book offers an in-depth explanation of interworking's of the Templar Order, and how the knights connected to 17th Century Pirates. It examines how the Templar Knights evolved from poor Crusaders in the Holy Land, to wealthy corporation owners with operations all over the Red Sea. While in the Holy Land for over 200 years, the knight Templars learned to read Arabic languages, and became learned men from the ancient manuscripts of Greece and Rome preserved by the Moors. These manuscripts were banned in Europe, but the Knights Templars utilized ancient maps of Alexander the Great and the Greeks to establish trade routes from Acre through the Red Sea and around the Horn of Africa. The Templars became rich and powerful men from the knowledge found in these manuscripts and used this knowledge to become learned men. They established their order around keeping the trade routes around the Horn of Africa a secret from the rest of Europe. The Templars continued their pursuit of knowledge, and combined the fighting styles of the 'Nine Worthies' to form their own warrior ethos. The knights used Guerilla Warfare in the Holy Lands and pursued 'True Justice.' The Templars understood justice is the only ideal men are willing to die for, and they upheld law and order with the Assizes. These laws upheld justice 'all for one and one for all' within the order and created a 'state within a State.' After retreating from Acre, churchmen became seamen, and the Templars used any means at their disposal to achieve attrition from Rhodes. This included knights forming companies with men from seven European countries to help them raid Mongol ships on the Red Sea. It is these companies of 'Channel Boys' who evolved into the 'Brethren of the Coasts.'Throughout history, Knights Templars have mitigated any obstacles in their path to achieving world dominance. This book will prove the Knights Templars never fully disbanded, and have never surrendered in their campaign in the Holy Land. Today the knights wield their power from strongholds such as: Middle Temple in London, Military Order of Malta, and Order of the Garner. The Templars are shareholders in several billion dollar corporations including the Hudson Bay Company and the East India Company. To support my theories I will touch on several hot topics: Triangular Trade in the Caribbean, Order of St. John, French Huguenots, Slavery, Charleston, South Carolina, Daniel Horry, 'Loyall Jamaica' in 1692, Captain Raynor, Marco Polo, Mongol Dynasty, 'Golden Ratio, ' Astrolabe, Cadency System, King Arthur, Homer, David, Vatican, Benenhaly family of Sumter, South Carolina, Lord Proprietors, Trial by Jury, Pirate Tew, Cabals, Pirate Treasure, and the 'Red Sea Traders.'

Download or read book The Temple And The Lodge written by Michael Baigent and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this enthralling historical detective story, the authors of The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail trace the flight after 1309 of the Knights Templar from Europe to Scotland, where the Templar heritage was to take root, and would be perpetuated by a network of noble families. That heritage, and the Freemasonry that arose from it, became inseparable from the Stuart cause. The Temple and the Lodge charts the birth of Freemasonry through the survival of Templar traditions, through currents of European thought, through the mystery surrounding Rosslyn chapel, and through an elite cadre of aristocrats attached as personal bodyguards to the French king. Pursuing Freemasonry through the 17th and 18th Centuries, Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh reveal its contribution to the fostering of tolerance, progressive values, and cohesion in English society, which helped to pre-empt a French-style revolution. Even more dramatically, the influence of Freemasonry emerges as key facto in the formation of the United States of America as an embodiment of the ideal 'Masonic Republic'.

Download or read book The Golden Age of Piracy written by Benerson Little and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years, pirates have terrorized the ocean voyager and the coastal inhabitant, plundered ship and shore, and wrought havoc on the lives and livelihoods of rich and poor alike. Around these desperate men has grown a body of myths and legends—fascinating tales that today strongly influence our notions of pirates and piracy. Most of these myths derive from the pirates of the “Golden Age,” from roughly 1655 to 1725. This was the age of the Spanish Main, of Henry Morgan and Blackbeard, of Bartholomew Sharp and Bartholomew Roberts. The history of pirate myth is rich in action, at sea and ashore. However, the truth is far more interesting. In The Golden Age of Piracy, expert pirate historian Benerson Little debunks more than a dozen pirate myths that derive from this era—from the flying of the Jolly Roger to the burying of treasure, from walking the plank to the staging of epic sea battles—and shows that the truth is far more fascinating and disturbing than the romanticized legends. Among Little’s revelations are that pirates of the Golden Age never made their captives walk the plank and that they, instead, were subject to horrendous torture, such as being burned or hung by their arms. Likewise, epic sea battles involving pirates were fairly rare because most prey surrendered immediately. The stories are real and are drawn heavily from primary sources. Complementing them are colorful images of flags, ships, and buccaneers based on eyewitness accounts.

Book excerpt: From Michael Haag, bestselling author of The Templars: The History and the Myth, comes The Tragedy of the Templars, an exciting new look at the rise of Templar power and the saga of their destruction. Founded on Christmas Day 1119 in Jerusalem, the Knights Templar was a religious order dedicated to defending the Holy Land and its Christian pilgrims in the decades after the First Crusade.

In The Tragedy of the Templars: The Rise and Fall of the Crusader States, Haag masterfully details the conflicts and betrayals that sent this faction of powerful knights spiraling from domination to condemnation. This stirring and thoroughly researched work of historical investigation includes maps and full-color photographs of important cultural sites, many of which doubled as battlefields during the Crusades.

Filled with high-sea adventures–including encounters with Captain Morgan and other legendary pirates–Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean reveals a hidden chapter in Jewish history as well as the cruelty, terror, and greed that flourished during the Age of Discovery.
