  • Search and Investigation Into the Knights Templar in the New World by M
    A Knight’s Guide to the Most Recent Re- search and Investigation Into The Knights Templar in the New World By M. Em. Kt. William F. (Bill) Mann, GCT Supreme Grand Master, Sovereign Great Priory – Knights Templar of Canada read with a great deal of interest close resemblance to those of alchemy. the short article by Sir Knight (Dr.) I Donald J. G. Chiarella entitled, “A Hypothesis on the Templar Treasure of the Temple Mount,”1 which recently ap- peared in the June 2020 issue of Knight Templar magazine. Sir Knight Chiarella’s article raised a number of pertinent questions with respect to the existence and current location of the so-called “Templar trea- sure.” This all-encompassing treasure is what most Sir Knights recognize as the treasure purportedly discovered within a sacred vault or secret crypt below the Temple Mount by the original Knights Templar. It is also the origin of the mythi- cal treasures portrayed in the block- buster movies: The Da Vinci Code and National Treasure. York Rite Freemasons relate the se- cret crypt to Royal Arch Masonry, includ- ing its ceremonial ritual of the crypt’s discovery along with the Ineffable Word.2 Interestingly, many modern-day Masonic researchers now suggest that both Royal Arch and Scottish Rite mason- The sacred vault, 18th century York ry evolved directly from the discovery of Rite Royal Arch teaching board, origin the sacred vault by the original Knights unknown (image within public realm) Templar.

Some readers may find that disorienting, but a capacity for disturbing readers’ assumptions is even more a hallmark of good historical fiction than the inclusion of the Knights Templar.”— Diana Gabaldon, Washington PostJan Guillou follows up the highly acclaimed The Road to Jerusalem with the second book in his Knights Templar trilogy. Readers of Bernard Cornwell, Conn Iggulden, and Stephen Saylor will find many page-turning thrills in The Templar Knight. Jan Guillou is a story-teller! He writes mainly from the Templar Knights perspective, particularly one, Arn. However, we are drawn into the person who is doing a 20-year penance for loving a girl. He was well-schooled from an early age in all aspects of the Catholic faith with Father Henri and Father Gilbert due to a vision of his mother which she believed was given her by the Virgin Mary.

  • The Kni~Jhts Ternplar Priests
    The Kni~jhts Ternplar Priests HAROLD V. B. VOORHIS, K.G.G. Past Grand Preceptor Grand College of America HR A K.T.P. Original 1957—Revised 1968 The Kni~jhts Ternplar Priests HAROLD V. B. VOORHIS The selection of a title for this paper is as difficult as the sub- ject of which I had hoped to icader a “true and faithful” ac- count, as xviii be evident as I pioceed The best I can do is to divide what I have to say into paits, the first of which will cover what may or may not be the forerunner of our Order elsewheie than in the United States. Au investigation into the histoi ical i amificatioiis covering Knights Templar Priests might be cornpaied with trying to pre- sent an hustoiical treatise on the Rose Cioix degiee—a degiee found iii more systems and rites ol Masonry than any other— it is even found outside of the Masonic systems. The names applied to the Knights Templar Piiests degiee are confusing: White Masons, Templar Piiests, Asiatic Biethren, and otheis, and sometimes the degree known as Knight Templar Priests is totally unlike that which we so consider today. Even the bodies in which the degree was conferred go under different names— Melchiseclek Lodges, White Lodges, Conclaves, Conventions, Union Bands, Tabernacles, and what not. Many times we are not sure we are talking about the same degree which we are now considering. This is, as some of us know, true in many other cases—the Rose Croix, the Red Cross degree, the Mark degree and ad infinitum.

  • Fall of the Knights Templar and Their Bad Ass Last Stand at Their Acre Headquarters
    Cold Open: Did you know that the Knights Templar are part of the New World Order? Or that they made in to America before Columbus? Or that they buried treasure on Oak Island? These are just a few of the conspiracies surrounding the Templars we’ll explore today. We’ll also look at the Fall of the Knights Templar and their bad ass last stand at their Acre headquarters. The Templars became incredibly wealthy and powerful and ironically this wealth would be the impetus for the sudden demise when a corrupt French King didn’t feel like paying back on a debt. We’ll talk about Templars fighting Mongols, Templars battling Greek Fire in Egypt, and so much more on this bonus part two edition - the Fall of the Templars - today, on Timesuck. PAUSE TIMESUCK INTRO I. Welcome: Happy Friday Timesuckers! It’s bonus Suck time. Wrapping up your work week with some new, exciting knowledge. Knowledge isn’t just power - it’s fun!

    THE FALL OF THE TEMPLARS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Robyn Young | 484 pages | 26 Jan 2010 | Plume Books | 9780452295957 | English | United States The Fall of the Templars PDF Book Most Recent. Excellent book by historian Dan Jones on the Templars. In the same token, some nobility had been indebted to the Templars and now saw their opportunity to clear their debt. This was followed by the papal bull Ad Providum on May 2, , which granted all of the Order's lands and wealth to the Hospitallers so that its original purpose could be met, despite Philip's wishes that the lands in France pass to him. Saladin's army was spread too thin to adequately defend themselves, and he and his forces were forced to fight a losing battle as they retreated back to the south, ending up with only a tenth of their original number. But their arrest was the last straw since the king wanted to wipe them out from the face of France. In Portugal and Aragon , the Holy See granted the properties to two new Orders, the Order of Christ and the Order of Montesa respectively, made up largely of Templars in those kingdoms. Initially, the Knights Templar faced criticism from some religious leaders. The papal process started by Pope Clement V , to investigate both the Order as a whole and its members individually found virtually no knights guilty of heresy outside France. The Codebreakers. Soon they had the sanction of the Pope and patronage of the major Kings of Europe. They would be the force that would ram through the enemy's front lines at the beginning of a battle, or the fighters that would protect the army from the rear.
