The Templars are one of the most mysterious orders of knighthood! Perhaps there is no other order whose activities would give rise to so many legends and would leave the same number of unsolvable mysteries and undiscovered secrets. Lin von Pahl, a recognized author of documentary thrillers, masterfully explores all stages of the existence of the Templar Order - from the moment of its emergence and acquisition of enormous power and fabulous wealth and right up to complete collapse, when the leaders of the Templars were hanged right outside the walls of Notre Dame Cathedral.
