The Knights Templar - In Remembrance...

“To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books.”

― Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages

Please book this date on your calendars to revisit one of history's most mysterious and enigmatic chapters: the end of the Poor Soldiers of Christ and the Temple of Solomon.

The Knights Templar, guardians of sacred knowledge and champions of the faithful, met a tragic and unjust end on Friday, 13th October, 1307. Accused of heresy and sorcery, their order was disbanded by French king Philippe IV (known as “Le Bel”), their wealth confiscated, and many of their members subjected to brutal torture. Among them, the last Grand Master, Jacques de Molay, met a fiery fate at the stake. But from the ashes of that tragic day emerged legends and mysteries that continue to captivate and confound us.

Those of you who follow my work will know that every year on the 13th of October, I always hold a talk or lecture to remember the Knights Templar, and sometimes take a field trip too with students to visit some of their graves. Once again continuing the tradition I’ve created and honoured for the past 5 years, I am holding this informal ZOOM history lecture so that we may remember the legacy of these knights who like the agnus dei on many of their tombs and Christ himself, were persecuted and suffered a tragic end.

Join me in this remembrance lecture and revisit one of history’s darkest moments. Uncover some of the truths and myths surrounding the Templars and their dramatic downfall but also take a moment to remember and honour the brave Knights of the Temple.

Please note that this talk WILL be recorded, attending the talk implies acceptance with this. Those who purchase a ticket will receive a link to the recording shortly which will remain active for 2 weeks for their own private use, so if you cannot attend in person due to time-zone constraints, you will still be able to watch it.

Chinon Parchment - The Chinon Parchment details a failed attempt by the Pope to preserve the Templars from the machinations of King Philip IV of France, through establishing that the Order was not heretical and was capable of reform under the aegis of the Church. Still the Templars were condemned just the same and Pope Clement was coerced by a greedy French King.
