The Knights Templar are shrouded in both legend and secrecy—warrior monks, bankers of kings, and guardians of mysteries that echo through history. In Part II of our Freemasonry series, we trace the rise and fall of the Templars: from their humble beginnings protecting pilgrims in the Holy Land, to becoming one of the most powerful and wealthy orders in medieval Europe. We’ll unravel their sudden downfall, the charges of heresy, and explore how their legacy may have influenced the birth of Freemasonry centuries later. Were the Templars merely victims of politics and greed—or keepers of a hidden tradition that survived in secret?
