"The Templars: The Rise and Fall of God's Holy Warriors" explores the history of the Knights Templar, a medieval order founded in the 12th century during the Crusades. Initially established to protect pilgrims and the Holy Land, the Templars grew in wealth and influence, becoming key players in European politics and finance.
