Focusing on the largely overlooked trial of the Templars in the British Isles from 1308 to 1311, this book uncovers the stark differences from the infamous French trial, highlighting the lack of torture and executions. It reveals how rumors of heinous rituals were unfounded and examines the meticulous selection of evidence by inquisitors that shaped the trial's narrative. Extensive research into medieval records provides insights into the arrests, imprisonment, and eventual dissolution of the Order, complemented by a list of Templars and a gazetteer of their properties.
