Knights Templars at the Priory of Sion : Arginy, Gisors, Rennes-le-Château

Knights templars at the priory of sion

The dissolution of the Order of the Temple and the persecution of the Knights Templar in the 14th century continue to leave their mark. Why did King Philip the Fair and Pope Clement V set out to destroy them ? What secrets did the Knights Templar hold that made them such a threat ? How did the Knights Templar escape persecution over the centuries and safeguard their incredible secret ?

Following on from The Da Vinci Code, which revealed the existence of the Order of the Priory of Sion, Jean-Patrick Pourtai takes us on an incredible investigative journey spanning more than seven centuries. The author develops his hypotheses on the historical implications of the Knights Templar, mixing royal dynasty and hidden messages. He returns to mythical sites such as Arginy, Gisors and Rennes-le-Chateau, and meets some of the characters who were instrumental in the Templar revival attempts.
