Templar

by Paul Doherty 2 books in this series

The Templar novels trace the order from the First Crusade to its established power in the mid-twelfth-century Crusader States. The Templar follows Hugh de Payens, Godfrey de Saint-Omer and Eleanor as they travel east with the crusading armies and confront the brutality, deprivation and political bargaining behind the capture of Jerusalem.

The Templar Magician moves to 1152, when the order possesses wealth and influence in both the Latin East and Europe. The murder of Raymond of Tripoli draws Robert de Payens and Edward Sendal into a conspiracy that may reach inside the Temple itself. Together the novels contrast founding ideals with the institutional rivalry and accumulated power of the mature order.
