THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR...who were they?

A thousand years give or take a few after their creation, the Knights Templar still capture the public imagination, why? what is it about their myth that is so enduring, what is real and what is just pure fantasy? From Indiana Jones, to Dan brown novels to dodgy power metal albums their famous imagery, sigil and deeds still loom large over our history. Sex, Murder, Money and Intrigue! So in this episode I continue the historical thread I've been on and look at who they were, where they came from and what is fact and what is fiction from this fascinating period of history!!!support the show over athttp://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillsponsored byMetal Blade records https://www.indiemerch.com/metalbladerecordspromo code AA 2023 for 10% off your orderships worldwidefor professional band backdrops contact :yes@torodrops.comand use the promo code ALANPrimordial on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=-4UVUYiiQ5ahQ_U4_W4a2gVerminous Serpenthttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=Tf--gdXGTgC3QgpdhAWpJADread Sovereignhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=h5A0ZVNrRYazchmU6jtuXgSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.
