Universal Buys The Knights Templar
2008-05-07 00:04:00 Universal Buys The Knights TemplarKnights versus vampires? We're there!Source: The Hollywood Reporter If you?re anything like Empire, then everything you know about the Knights Templar, you?ll have learned from movies like Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade, The Da Vinci Code and National Treasure. So we know that they were a group of Knights who fought in the Crusades, and that they: protected the Holy Grail; helped cover up the fact that Jesus Christ HAD A FAMILY; and did whatever it was that they did in National Treasure.But did you know that they also FOUGHT A VAMPIRE ARMY, who were hellbent on destroying the Holy Grail?!?!Well, of course they didn?t, but that?s the ridiculous and, it has to be said, ridiculously cool premise behind a spec script called The Knights Templar that?s just been picked up by Universal. (Although we?d call it Knights Of The Living Dead.)The project was written by Adam Torchia and Justin Stanley, based on an ide...

Exoneration of the Knights Templar Petition
2007-11-23 21:20:00 There is no doubt that the media spotlight has shown brightly on the Knights Templars over the last couple of months. With the release of the Trail of the Templars by the Vatican press, and the 700th anniversary of the Order’s arrests the plight of the Templars has never been more publicly recognized. The media has even focused on Templar activists, such as the Acheson Twins who have called on the Vatican to officially apologize for their misdeeds. I personally think it is high time that the voice of the people be heard on this matter. Given the position taken by Pope Clement V in the Chinon Parchment, I believe the Knights Templar should be exonerated from any charges that were leveled against them 700 years ago. There are many of you that feel the same way that I do on this matter. That is why I have set up an online petition for the Exoneration of the Knights Templar on the Ipetition web site. It is my intention to let the Vatican know that there those out there ...

At home with the Knights Templar - Yorkshire
2007-03-07 00:36:01 The Knights Templar were formed at the end of the First Crusade to protect Christian pilgrims on route to the Holy Land. The head of the Templar Knights was the Grand Master, based in Jerusalem. Each country also had its own Master and then there was a Grand Preceptors who would control the order’s estates in the county. From humble beginnings the order went on to have the backing of the Holy See and European monarchies. They became very rich and powerful. This, along with the secrecy of their initiation rites, attracted the anger of Philip IV of France and the order was charged with heresy and immorality in 1307. After a royal inquest, where torture was freely employed, they were found guilty. Their wealth was confiscated and the order disbanded. The Grand Master and many of his followers were burned at the stake. In England the Templars (including Geoffrey de Arches, the last preceptor of Temple Newsam) were absolved of their sins and sent to abbeys to do penance. Kirkstall ...
