Knights Templar Revealed

“The Knights Templar were probably the single most important influence in the ultimate development of the world we inhabit today.”

So state the authors Alan Butler and Stephen Dafoe in their acclaimed work The Warriors and the Bankers. The true genesis of the Knights Templar belongs far back in time, long before Christianity even developed.

The Templars were an offshoot of a little understood monastic brotherhood, the Cistercians, who themselves danced to the tune of an extremely powerful group of individuals inhabiting Burgundy and Flanders from the time of the Romans onwards. Butler and Dafoe offer a detailed account of the rise of a specific group identified as “the Troyes Fraternity” which did not simply respond to the caprices of history, but made it. Behind the Knights Templar lay a belief pattern almost as old as humanity and a heritage that was already ancient before recorded history began. The story is both fascinating and compulsive.

It will leave the reader in no doubt as to the true intentions of the Knights Templar, or of the shadowy but immensely influential organisation that brought them into being. This story is both surprising and shocking, and its implications for our orthodox view of history are staggering.
