商品簡介
From humble beginnings, the Knights Templar rose to become the most powerful military religious order of the Middle Ages. Formed to protect pilgrims in the Holy Land, the crusaders rapidly gained wealth, lands, and influence. Untouchable for nearly two centuries, they fell from grace spectacularly after the loss of the Holy Land. In the ensuing centuries the Templars exerted a unique influence over European history: orthodox historians see them as nothing more than soldier-monks whose arrogance was their ultimate undoing, while others see them as occultists of the first order.
