The Truth About the Knights Templar

The Truth About the Knights Templar

Why are the Knights Templar surrounded by myths and legends? Is there any truth to the tales of the Holy Grail or that the Knights survived? Why does this medieval order, which disappeared in the 14th century, continue to enthral us today?


To uncover the real history of the Knights Templar we are joined by Dan Jones - historian, author, podcaster and host of This Is History, whose series The Iron King is all about man who destroyed the Templars - King Philip the Fair.


Edited by Tomos Delargy. Produced by Freddy Chick. Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.
