Koko u Parizu - Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars

Jedno od njezinih djela o templarima objavljeno je prošle godine i na engleskome pod nazivom The Templars: The Secret History Revealed (" Templari: objava tajne povijesti ").

The Templars je njihova potpuna suprotnost: vjeruju da zlo treba biti uništeno bilo kojim sredstvima, ako treba i žrtvovanjem za opće dobro.

But at the supreme moment the grand master recovered his courage and proclaimed the innocence of the Templars and the falsity of his own alleged confessions.

In addition the Templars had lost control of their Western European Headquarters and founding city of Troyes in France.

This region had fallen to the French Crown, another reason why the Templars knew their days in the region were numbered.

Philip IV of France hated the Templars - and they don ' t seem to have had much regard for him either

Officially it is an answer to a letter written to Bernard b his friend Hugues de Payen, one of the founders of the Templars

Philip the Fair made a preliminary inquiry, and, on the strength of so-called revelations of a few unworthy and degraded members, secret orders were sent throughout France to arrest all the Templars on the same day (13 October, 1307), and to submit them to a most rigorous examination.

Even before the Templars had proved their worth, the ecclesiastical and lay authorities heaped on them favours of every kind, spiritual and temporal.

The Templars had commanderies in every state.

In France they formed no less than eleven bailiwicks, subdivided into more than forty-two commanderies; in Palestine it was for the most part with sword in hand that the Templars extended their possessions at the expense of the Mohammedans.

Butler: So - Did the Templars found Switzerland?

Such was the tragic end of the Templars.

If we consider that the Order of Hospitallers finally inherited, although not without difficulties, the property of the Templars and received many of its members, we may say that the result of the trial was practically equivalent to the long-proposed amalgamation of the two rival orders.

The Templars were a creature of the Crusades, when various Christian forces sailed from Europe to fight the resident Muslims for control of the biblical Holy Land.

The Templars had as yet neither distinctive habit nor rule.

7. The Swiss were and are famous for their religious tolerance - and so were the Templars

The tale of the Templars remains a gaudy thread woven through the religion, politics and literature of Western civilization, with a recent boost from the embellishments of Dan Brown, who cast the Knights as a key part of the conspiracy to conceal Church secrets in his best-seller The Da Vinci Code

1. The founding of the embryonic Switzerland conforms exactly to the period when the Templars were being persecuted in France

Knjiga pod naslovom ' Processus Contra Templarios - Papal Inquiry into the Trial of the Templars ' namijenjena je prvenstveno učenicima i studentima, a očekuje se da će primjerke uglavnom kupovati specijalizirane knjižnice

The notion of that much money, power and influence vanishing at a Papal penstroke appears to have been too much for the mythic sensibility of the West, which wanted to believe that the Templars must somehow have survived, adapted, or been subsumed into another, even more secretive trans-national group.

We believe we can show that the Templars had been well aware of what was coming and were taking measures to counter the effects of their troubles with France and the Church long before 1307. Their problems actually started as early as 1280 and were directly related to (of all things) sheep scab

Philip the Fair took advantage of the discovery to have bestowed upon himself by the University of Paris the title of Champion and Defender of the Faith, and also to stir up public opinion at the States General of Tours against the heinous crimes of the Templars.

The second disadvantage of this secrecy was, that it gave an opportunity to the enemies of the Templars, and they were numerous, to infer from this mystery every conceivable malicious supposition and base on it the monstrous imputations.

The Templars were accused of spitting upon the Cross, of denying Christ, of permitting sodomy, of worshipping an idol, all in the most impenetrable secrecy.

5. Even the Swiss don ' t really know the ins and outs of their earliest history (or suggest that they don ' t.) They are famous for being secretive and we don ' t have to tell interested readers that this is something they share absolutely with the Templars

There isn ' t any doubt that the Templars went somewhere.

The document the Vatican will release Thursday, misplaced in its archives until 2001, is reportedly the official transcript of that trial and Clement ' s 1308 verdict, which found the Templars to be immoral but not heretical.
