Description
At its height, the Order of the Knights Templar rivaled the kingdoms of Europe in military might, economic power, and political influence. For 700 years the tragic demise of this society of warrior-monks amid accusations of heresy has been plagued by controversy, in part because the transcript of their trial by the Inquisition - which held the key to the truth - had vanished.Templar historian Barbara Frale happened to be studying a document at the Vatican Secret Archives when she suddenly realized that it was none other than the long-lost transcript! It revealed that Pope Clement V had absolved the order of all charges of heresy. Using this sensational new information, Frale chronicles the Templars spectacular rise and fall against a sweeping backdrop of war, religious fervor, and the struggle for dominance, and finally lifts the centuries-old cloak of mystery surrounding one of the worlds most intriguing secret societies.

Good, Academic
Great work, I was worried it be more if a pop history without much substance, especially due to the short length, but this delivered what was needed. You really come away understand the origins, character, and eventual downfall of the Templar order, and all of the relevant surrounding contexts.

I was looking for an exciting history
The promise of the Vatican archives and the subject left me expecting more.
It was not a page turner so it is good I was listening on Audible and have to walk my dog or I would not have finished it.
And I found the narrator to be monotone.
Perhaps an executive summary with the key elements over time would have set the book up better?
Some may love it.

A note to the narrator
Just a brief piece of constructive criticism. Here on earth we humans don’t reading years as though they were mathematical numbers. The year 1307 isn’t read as “one thousand, three hundred and seven”. We say “thirteen oh-seven”. I felt really irritated each time you incorrectly read a year like this. Otherwise your reading performance was just fine.

Pulled the Plug Early on This One
The introductory statements offered quite some promise and I was looking forward to the rest. However, in a book of some 5+ hours, using almost 20% of that time to set context with a bland summary of the historical lead-up to the initial formation of the Templars was trying my patience too far. Added to this was the fact that although the author claimed a uniquely informed perspective (which I don't doubt) little original thinking is in evidence here. That the 'trials' of the Templars were a mockery of anything like truth or justice comes as no surprise, not that others' greed is essentially the prime motive in their becoming a target. Whilst we might not have been offered proof before now, these are hardly surprising revelations. Follow this through and no doubt some hoary mythology will be deservedly exposed, but there's little to suggest to this point that the reader will emerge any the truly wiser for their experience.

Insomnia? This will cure it...
If you like to listen to someone regurgitate dates and repetitive facts this is a book for you. A medical text book in latin has more entertainment value. If you are doing a thesis on the Templars you might find it useful.

Great book of you enjoy History.
The facts vs fiction of the Historic Templars its easy to see how the legend of the Templars came about. The Church leaders of the time and the Kings of the day have faded into history. The Templars unjust and brutal treatment have made them the icons of repressive peoples across the Christian world. They inspire and uplift even today!

Well researched.
The book is interesting and leads to further speculation over the rites and practices of the knights Templar. Of particular interest is the trial of the last grand master for heresy.

Presentation of recent research
This is the real historical presentation of the recent discovery of what truly happened to the Templars, which is wonderful to be able to hear.

Good read the author researched facts rather than the legend
I am eagerly waiting for more historical research on the templars as promised by the author at the end of this book.

Narration sounds like AI
I thought this title was being read by AI because of the way some things were read. The year being read as one thousand whatever. That is a common AI issue. I have listened to other audiobooks read by this narrator and not had problems, so maybe she was just trying to read it like a history book.
I was disappointed because I did not learn anything new. Good thing this was a free listen.

More about the greater context around the Templars
Reading the years as numerals created such a barrier to listening, I almost DNF. I was hoping for more information about the men and their lives rather than the political workings around the Templars.

The Templers were more than you ever imagined
Enormous amount of history you never knew or studied. Clear concise and well presented. The Templers were a binding religious, political and financial force during the epoch of the Crusades. This book provides a documented and intimately expansive history of The Templers. It's historical scope is so broad and enticing it deserves multiple listens.
