The Templar's Curse by Evelyn Lord
The Knights Templar are under arrest, torture and trial, followed by penance for life. Chronicling the dissolution of the order after the trial in 1307, when many of its members were burned at the stake as heretics, this book investigates the consequences of the Templar's persecution and their mysterious legacy.Evelyn Lord is course director of the Master of Studies of Local and Regional History at the Universityof Cambridge, and staff tutor in local history. She has published widely on local history in academic and popular journals. Her latest paper compares the way in which the Templars farmed their land in Hertfordshire with other ecclesiastical and secular landlords. Her books include DerbyPast, Investigating the Twentieth Century: A Local Historian's Guide to Sources, The Knights Templar in Britain(Longman)and The Stuarts' Secret Army (Longman). Her interest in the Templars comes from leading field trips to Denny Abbey in Cambridgeshire; one of the Templars' hospitals in England.
