Did you know the Templar Order was so strict that its members could only have meat three times a week? The Knights Templar has established itself as the most popular military organization of medieval times. Everyone has heard of the order, and everyone is familiar with the image of a medieval Crusader knight with a red cross on their white uniform. But who exactly were the Templars? What was their purpose? And are the rumors about their secretive nature true? This book will take a look at the two-hundred-year history of the Knights Templar. We will cover how the order was established and why it transformed from a Christian military organization into something much more. The Knights Templar is certainly one of the most intriguing organizations that ever existed. It was a military order at first, created to protect the Christian-controlled Holy Land after the First Crusade, but it became much more than a group of devout Christians who wished to fight in the name of God. Throughout a somewhat short but still very powerful period of its existence, the Knights Templar established itself as a dominant military group with distinct customs, traditions, and rules, and it was respected all over Europe.

Following the execution of Charles I in January 1649, England's fledgling republic was faced with a dilemma: which parts of the nation's bloody recent past should be remembered, and how, and which were best consigned to oblivion? Across the country, the state's opponents, local communities, and individual citizens were grappling with many of the same questions, as calls for remembrance vied with the competing goals of reconciliation, security, and the peaceful settlement of the state.
