Assassins vs Templars: The Fall of the Templars

Assassins vs Templars: The Fall of the Templars

With a network of fortifications spanning Europe, the backing of the Pope and a fierce reputation, how did the reign of the Knights Templar end in arrest, torture, disbandment and, in some cases, execution? Mike Carr is with Matt Lewis to share the rumours that led to the Knights’ downfall, the possible motives of Philip IV, and to explore whether the order continued in any form.


An original Ubisoft series, produced by History Hit with post-production by Paradiso Media.
