I am looking for a book that will give me an historical or more ideally a first person
account of what it was like to be a member of 'The Knights Templar'.
Could someone point me in the right direction for such a book?
Thanks

Try "The Warriors and the Bankers" by Butler and Dafoe. I didn't read it but people with an interest seem to say it is honest and logically done.It is not a First person account but it deals with the whole thing pretty fully I hear.

By coincidence I had ordered "The Greatest Knight by Thomas Asbridge. A few pages in I realise that this a really well researched account of the lives of Knights from the 11th century on. Very interesting and informative You may prefer this It seems very good.

Thanks for the feedback.

Re"The Greatest Knight by Thomas Asbridge. So interesting. What a mighty character he seems to have been, having been at the side of 4 kings in his life. I still recommend it as excellent background reading about the Knights of the Crusades and the Angevins.
I now have a request. Eleanor of Aquitaine figures largely in the above and I would like to read a good biography of her. Any ideas? Thanks
