THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR...who were they?

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!!!
