The Knights Templar in Britain

The Knights Templar was a military order founded around 1120 to protect pilgrims in the Holy Land. Their estates in Britain funded their work overseas, and their Yorkshire lands were among their most valuable. The order was suppressed in the early fourteenth century amid allegations of heresy and much speculation has followed. This course will look at the Order in Britain and try to separate fact from fiction, by examining evidence from documents, buildings, and place names. It is anticipated that this course will be held at the King’s Manor.
