The History of the Knights Templars by Charles G. Addison

A very challenging read..

Written in the 1800's. Latin abounds. It is a well researched book and interesting given the views of the author pre-date, by some margin, modern thinking and understanding of the Templars. It is challenging to read and I did read about matters that are not well covered in other Templar books.

The History of the Knights Templars by Charles G. Addison

Don't waste your money on this. Buy "Dungeon, Fire and Sword" instead.
