Crusaders Artifacts
FOR SALE: Coins of Knights Templar France

The Order of the Templar Knights (technically The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon) were founded just following the First Crusade of 1096. The Order was initially formed to protect European pilgrims to Jerusalem and back following the conquest. The Knights received official endorsement by the Catholic Church in 1129 and flourished, growing in strength and wealth, until 1307, when bankrupt King Philip IV obtained permission from Pope Clement V to put an end to the Order. Many members in France and elswehere were rounded up, charged with heresy, tortured, and burned at the stake. The order was officially disbanded in 1312 AD, but legend holds that a group of Knights Templar survived the massacre, went into hiding, and kept the Order alive and growing in strength until today.

Philip IV le Bel ("The Fair") ruled France from 1268 until 1314 AD. In league with the current Pope, Philip oversaw the arrest, torture, and execution of hundreds of Knights Templar. On Friday, October 13, 1307, hundreds of Knights Templar were rounded up in France under orders of Philip IV. They were tortured until admitting heresy. Some died under torture, many were burned at the stake for their "evil deeds." From then on, Friday the 13th (especially in October) has become synonymous with bad luck and evil.

The Templars: The Rise and Spectacular Fall
of God's Holy Warriors

This is literally my favorite book. I read it cover to cover and then started again from the beginning. It is really a very thorough account of the Crusades in general from the beginning to end, with a ton of fascinating information about the Knights Templar and the role they played. I can't recommend this book highly enough!
