In my previous paper "The Knights Templar" I concentrated on the historical facts surrounding this medieval order of warrior monks.
In this paper I had intended to examine some of the more legendary aspects of the Templars, both during their 190 years of official existence and also after their suppression on the notorious, and afterwards unlucky, Friday 13' October 1307.
However, once I started my researches I soon realized that this was such a large topic and so much had already been written on it, that I would have to devote several papers to it, just to scratch the surface.
Consequently this will be part one in a series of papers I hope to write on the subject and it will cover some 'myths' that have arisen about the Templars, up to the time of Jacques de Molay, the last Grand Master of the medieval Order.
