About this listen
Bloomsbury presents The Templars written and read by Dan Jones.
Dan Jones narrates in his inimitably vivid and authoritative fashion the remarkable story of the Knights Templar.
'Exhilarating, epic, sword-swinging history' TLS
'Jones is certainly an entertainer, but also a fine historian who knows how to render serious scholarship into accessible prose' The Times
'Another triumphant tale from a historian who writes as addictively as any page-turning novelist' Observer
‘When it comes to rip-roaring medieval narratives, Jones has few peers, and in the Templars he finds the perfect subject' Sunday Times
The Knights Templar were the wealthiest, most powerful – and most secretive – of the military orders that flourished in the crusading era.
Their story – encompassing as it does the greatest international conflict of the Middle Ages, a network of international finance, a swift rise in wealth and influence followed by a bloody and humiliating fall – has left a comet's tail of mystery that continues to fascinate and inspire historians, novelists and conspiracy theorists.

Entertaining, insightful and informative
I’ve read many books regarding the crusades, but this was the first time I really understood The Templars’ role and how they navigated the politics. Wholeheartedly recommend this work

Excellent
I purchased The Templars as I knew very little of the Templars. The book set out the history of the Templars in a very clear, detailed yet easy to understand way.

Researched to the Max
Got through it and appreciated the depth of research undertaken.
It left me with the question WHY? the excursions to the holy land never achieved one thing after all. We can learn from this

Thrilling read
I very much enjoyed this book having gone into it knowing very little about the Templars. I enjoyed the chronological telling of the Order's history as I feel that is the best way to learn about history.
