The trial of the Knights Templar is one of the most infamous in history.
Accused of heresy by the king of France, the Templars were arrested & imprisoned, had their goods seized & their monasteries ransacked. Under brutal interrogation & torture, many made shocking confessions: denial of Christ, desecration of the Cross, sex acts & more.
This book follows the everyday reality of the trial, from the early days of scandal & scheming in 1305, via torture, imprisonment & the dissolution of the order, to 1314, when leaders Jacques de Molay & Geoffroy de Charnay were burned at the stake.
Through first-hand testimony & written records of the interrogations of 231 French Templars, this book illuminates the stories of hundreds of ordinary members, some of whom testified at the trial, as well as the many others who denied the charges or retracted their confessions.
