Welcome to my Templar FAQ page. This page is a sequel to my
Crusades FAQ page. As a professional historian working full time
at one of the leading research universities in the U.K., I receive
many general questions on the Knights Templar from those outside
academic scholarship who have an interest in the Templars. However,
as my work load at the University does not allow me the time
to answer these questions individually with the care and attention
that they deserve, I hope that this page would go some way towards
meeting this genuine need.
These answers are intended to reflect modern scholarship on
the Knights Templar. They are not intended to promote any political,
national or religious viewpoint. Readers should note that these
answers reflect my views as a professional historian who works
from the original medieval documents, not my personal views.
They are intended to be OBJECTIVE. Therefore it is quite likely
that you will not like some of the answers. However, as they
reflect history and not my own views, there is no point in writing
to tell me that you don't like my answers. I am not responsible
for history.
Some readers have complained about spelling errors in my FAQ
pages. These pages are written in U.K. English, not U.S. English.
