The Templars: Knights of God by Edward Burman

The Templars: Knights of God by Edward Burman

For nearly 200 years, until their suppression in 1312 on charges of heresy and magical practices, the Order of the Poor Knights of the Temple of Solomon--better known as the Templars--were the most formidable and feared fighting machine in Christendom. Besides their military prowess they also possessed immense wealth and political power, becoming bankers and credit brokers to medieval Europe and the allies of kings and popes.
Drawing on contemporary chronicles and original texts, as well as the immense secondary literature, Edward Burman paints a vivid picture of this extraordinary organization of warrior monks and its passage into myth and legend.

Edward Burman graduated from the University of Leeds with a degree in Philosophy and Fine Art. He has eighteen works to his credit, the most recent of which is Xi'an Through European Eyes: A Cultural History in the Horse Year. Edward has served on the Xi'an City Wall Heritage Foundation's Board of Trustees since 2014, and he is the only international trustee. He resides in the United Kingdom.
