On 18 March 1314, Jacques de Molay, Grand Master of the Templars, was burned at the stake. For almost two centuries, the knights of the Order of the Temple had flourished during the Crusades in Palestine and Syria, and in the West, notably in France. But in 1307, the Templars in France were arrested by King Philip IV's officials in the name of the Inquisition, their property seized and the men charged with serious heresies, including the denial of Christ, homosexuality and idol worship. Confessions, extracted under torture, were brought before royal and papal tribunals, but in 1310 a number of Templar brothers mounted a defence of their Order, refuelling the controversies which continued for a further four years before the final executions. Malcolm Barber's fascinating account, assessing the charges brought against the Order, once again puts the Templars on trial.

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.
