Summary

"In 1307 Pope Clement V was persuaded by Philip IV of France to issue a Bull instructing European princes to arrest all members of the military Christian Order of Knights Templar on charges that included worshipping false idols, sodomy and simony." "In this gripping narrative Evelyn Lord tells the story of the Templars under arrest, torture and trial, followed - for the lucky ones - by penance for life."--Jacket.
