New York:: Metro Books, 2010.. Reprint Edition.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: black binding with red spine text; a Fine book, with a Very Good+ dust jacket.. 9.5 inches tall by 7.5 inches wide . Site directions, bibliography, index. Decorated endpapers. Description: Profusely illustrated -- mostly in color. The publisher's blurb reads: ''The Order of the Knights Templar was a military and religious brotherhood that dominated medieval Europe for nearly two hundred years. Then the warrior monks disappeared from history into myth, their true nature forgotten and woven into fantasy. New research has revealed the extent of its influence and thrown light on its last days. The material traces they left behind can still be seen -- from these much of their story can be read. Simon Brighton's lifelong interest in the Templars gives him a unique perspective -- over many years he has extensively researched and repeatedly visited the many sites in Britain, often uncovering Templar traces that had been overlooked. All along he has kept a meticulous photographic record. Brighton gives a clear visitor-friendly guide to each site.'' Originally published in 2008, this is a reprint.
