Everything factual about the Order of the Knights Templar
By Margaret A. Foster on December 16, 2004
Format: Paperback
Helen Nicholson is "Reader in History" at Cardiff University, one of Britain's major teaching and research universities. She specializes in the history of Military Orders and this book captures the history of the Knights Templar in a very easy to read and clearly written manner.

This book covers the actual history, not any of the myths or legends, of the Order of the Temple. The time period covered is from the first band of warriors who asked for approval of their idea from the Council at Nablus to the end of the order in the early 14th century after charges of heresy and witchcraft damaged the order's reputation beyond repair.

The book's main focus is the order itself. Covered topics are "Recruitment and Admission" covering how one joined the order and how membership was recruited based on skills, position and the need of the order. The focus was on protection of Catholic Christians and membership reflected the need for well trained knights, who held the higher status. This also covers purpose of the order, locations of the order, housing and communities, age of members, other support positions and retirement.

The "Beliefs and Belonging" section covers the basic beliefs, the order as monks and their duty to God, their vows, their purpose and how it interplayed with various cultures and other religious beliefs, notations of the order in books, personal writings, and artistic images. Ms. Nicholson builds up the picture so that we can better understand what the intended purpose of the order was and what the order developed into.

In the "Training" and "Appearance and Equipment" sections we are given a very detailed look at what the order placed focus on.Read more ›

A Factual History of the Knights Templar
By Michael Chesbro on January 20, 2007
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Knight Templar 1120-1312, by Helen Nicholson is, like most of the books in the Osprey Warrior series, well-written and copiously illustrated.

Although only 64 pages in length, the greatest value of the book is its several photographs and illustrations allowing the reader to get a good `picture' of what Templar life was like.

The book is divided into the following chapters:

Introduction

Chronology

Recruitment and Admission

Belief and Belonging

Training

Appearance and Equipment

Living Conditions: On Campaign

Experience of Battle

Museums and Re-Enactment

Glossary

Bibliography

Color Plate Commentaries

Index

"Knight Templar 1120-1312" is a good introduction to the historical Knights Templar for those unaware of their history and a fair quick reference for those with a deeper background.

The book lacks any of the claims of Templar mysticism or its ties to Freemasonry, and remains focused on established history.

If you enjoy reading about the Knights Templar, than this book is definitely a worthwhile addition to your library.

Great Information For Such a Little Book
By Venus A. Rachal VINE VOICE on September 27, 2006
Format: Paperback
I like this book because it has useful, practical information, is written by scholars and it has good illustrations. I like the fact that the book focuses on what daily life would have been like for the warrior-monks and that the authors also talk about why people joined the Templars. One thing I did not know before reading this is that there were nuns who were part of the Templars, though they did not fight in the Holy battles and they were understandably segregated most of the time from their male counterparts.

I was very impressed with the descriptions of what they wore (which is very useful to me since I write historical fiction). I love the fact that the illustrations are so brilliant and detailed. One of the things that frustrates me about books relating to the Medieval period is that the illustrations are poor (unless it's a children's book and then you get little information). This book is great because it has the look of a young adult book, but the information appears to be well researched. It is definately history made easy and fun!

Knights Templar
By Alfred J. Andrea on August 30, 2009
Format: Paperback
More pseudo- and mythic-history has been written on the Knights Templar than just about any organization or phenomenon in the broad and variegated history of the West. I venture to say that probably a sizable majority of the books on the Knights of the Order of the Temple of Solomon have been composed by charlatans or the totally delusional disguised as sober historians. Brown's fictional DaVinci Code, which the author fraudulently claims is based on historical scholarship, is only one of many examples of that genre. Happily, several first-rate historians, most notably Malcolm Barber, Jonathan Riley-Smith, and Helen Nicholson, are producing solid works on the various medieval military orders, including the Templars. For what it intends to be: A popular book composed for an audience interested in military history nicely packaged and easily digested (what a strange metaphor I chose here), Nicholson's KNIGHT TEMPLAR, 1120-1312 is a must buy. In its 60 pages, this little paperback presents a solid and dependable history of these much-misunderstood and overly romanticized warriors of the Roman Church.
