Download or read book The Templars written by Piers Paul Read and published by Orion Publishing Group. This book was released on 2000-08-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sifting myth from history, Piers Paul Read reveals the Templars ¿ the multinational force of warrior monks, in their white tunics with red crosses over chainmail. They were not only unique among Christian institutions but constituted the first uniformed standing army in the western world and became pioneers of international banking. Expropriated by Philip IV of France in 1307, and confessing under torture to blasphemy, heresy and sodomy, the Order was finally suppressed by Pope Clement V in 1312. In a narrative that incorporates the story of the crusades and the many colourful characters who had links with the Templars, Piers Paul Read examines the question of their guilt and identifies their relevance to our own times. 'A highly readable and nicely paced book that draws on the lessons of modern historical scholarship while also communicating a sense of narrative excitement and drive' 'Evocative, measured and engaging' Evening Standard 'Magnificent in every way' Mail on Sunday

Download or read book The Secret Dossier of a Knight Templar of the Sangreal written by Gretchen Cornwall and published by Blurb. This book was released on 2016-10-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Full Colour Illustrated Paperback- Did the Templar Knights survive the arrests on October 13th, 1307? It is the most controversial question of our modern era made famous by Dan Brown's novel the Da Vinci Code. Author Gretchen Cornwall was contacted by a leading member of the Order whilst researching the history of the Templars in England. Comte de Mattinata de Medici, Knight of the Lion, revealed his family history and that of the Knights Templar in a series of meetings which became the Secret Dossier. The Comte's ancestor fled to England in the 17th century from France, his story recorded in fiction by Alexander Dumas. The Man in the Iron Mask was initiated by the English Templars of Cumbria and his family passed down their secrets to the present. The wild breadth of information reaches from King Arthur in Cumbria, the bloodline of Mary Magdalene & Jesus to new observations on Bernard de Clairvaux the man who put swords in the hands of Cistercian monks. How did the Templars survive? Are the Free Masons their inheritors? Did they inherit ancient technology that they used to navigate the Atlantic and escape to North America and other undisclosed safe harbours in Britain? The Comte gifted the author with an energetic map of the world which correlates with the Ordnance Survey National Grid of Great Britain and includes historic and modern Templar sites! This in itself is a mathematical impossibility. Ley Lines are a popular way to explore the energetic veins of the earth but this is the first time in history that the dragon energy of the earth has been found to correlate to England's famous and mathematically exacting map system. The Matrix Map of the World is explored in great detail through the lens of Quantum Physics. It is a portal to understanding the ethos behind the current generation of Knights Templar and a wide angle lens as to their thoughts on the future of humanity.

Download or read book When Scotland Was Jewish written by Elizabeth Caldwell Hirschman and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popular image of Scotland is dominated by widely recognized elements of Celtic culture. But a significant non-Celtic influence on Scotland's history has been largely ignored for centuries? This book argues that much of Scotland's history and culture from 1100 forward is Jewish. The authors provide evidence that many of the national heroes, villains, rulers, nobles, traders, merchants, bishops, guild members, burgesses, and ministers of Scotland were of Jewish descent, their ancestors originating in France and Spain. Much of the traditional historical account of Scotland, it is proposed, rests on fundamental interpretive errors, perpetuated in order to affirm Scotland's identity as a Celtic, Christian society. A more accurate and profound understanding of Scottish history has thus been buried. The authors' wide-ranging research includes examination of census records, archaeological artifacts, castle carvings, cemetery inscriptions, religious seals, coinage, burgess and guild member rolls, noble genealogies, family crests, portraiture, and geographic place names.
