The Templars fought against Islam in the crusader east for nearly two centuries. During that time the original small band grew into a formidable army, backed by an extensive network of preceptories in the Latin West. In October 1307, the members of this seemingly invulnerable and respected Order were arrested on the orders of Philip IV, King of France and charged with serious heresies, including the denial of Christ, homosexuality and idol worship. The ensuing proceedings lasted for almost five years and culminated in the suppression of the Order. The motivations of the participants and the long-term repercussions of the trial have been the subject of intense and unresolved controversy, which still has resonances in our own time. In this new edition of his classic account, Malcolm Barber discusses the trial in the context of new work on the crusades, heresy, the papacy and the French monarchy.

This book is written in a style that is easily read for both those who may be students of history as well as those who are simply interested in the history of the Templars. It provides not only chronological accounts of the acts of the Templar order, but also provides frequent references to historical people and events that gives the reader a better grasp of the context and insights into the cultural environment. This is especially important given the fact that it is critical to understand the political and legal factors, the roles of the French monarchy, the Catholic Church and the public attitudes toward the members of the Templar order.
