The Knights Templar: Part 1 Monday Mar. 8 6:30-8:30 PM Upper Arlington Lifelong Learning 3600 Tremont Avenue In 1119, shortly after the first crusade, a group of French knights formed a religious, military Order to protect pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land. Within fifty years, the Knights Templar had the backing of Popes and Kings; accumulating extraordinary wealth, land, power- and, as legend holds, holy treasures ranging from the Arc of the Covenant to the Holy Grail. Travel writer and architectural historian, Shawnie Kelley discusses the rise of the Templars, their role in the Crusades, financial and economic innovations, and early Templar castles and churches in Europe and the Middle East. Part 2 will cover the decline and suppression of the Knights Templar. |
