Product Description
First published in 1978, Barber's detailed and vivid study traces the events between Philip IV's arrest of the Templars in 1307 and the burning of Jacques de Molay, Grand Master of the Templars, at the stake in 1314. This detailed account examines the motivation of the chief participants, the charges and the Order's defence, the role of the papacy and the spread of persecution across Europe. Following a discussion of all the evidence, Barber assesses the extent to which the charges of serious heresies were justified.
