Description: The maritime history of the Knights Templar following the Church’s attempt to expunge them in southern France
• Shows that the pirates of legend originated with the Knights Templar’s secret navy
• Reveals the Templars’ secret objective to establish a new universal order based on spirituality, wisdom, and individualism--the New Jerusalem
• Examines the secret history of the Templars’ influence in international politics
When the Vatican condemned the Order of the Temple in 1312, many of those who escaped took to the sea. Their immediate objective was to take revenge on the Church. Recent discoveries confirm that ships of the Templar fleet that went missing at La Rochelle later reappeared--first in the Mediterranean and later in the Atlantic and Caribbean--to menace the Church’s maritime commerce. These Templar vessels often flew the famed Jolly Roger, which took its name from King Roger II of Sicily, a famed Templar who, during a public spat with the Pope in 1127, was the first to fly this flag.
Opportunistic buccaneers were quick to see that vast wealth could be gained in pursuing the Templars’ harassment of the Pope’s interests on the high seas, and they spread a reign of terror across the shipping lanes of the New World. Some unaffiliated pirates, in admiration of the Templar egalitarian ideals, even formed their own secret societies, and together with the Templars were part of the ferment that gave rise to independence movements in France and the New World and contributed to the growth of Freemasonry.
The Templar Pirates is the story of the birth and actual conduct of piracy on the seas of the New World and of the influence the Templars had on their constituents, and, by their wealth, on the governments of nations old and new.

Description: In January 1888, workmen excavating the eastern crypt of Canterbury Cathedral uncovered the ancient bones of a tall, middle-aged man whose skull had seemingly been cleft by a sword. Could these be the remains of St Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, who was murdered in the Cathedral in December 1170 by knights of King Henry II ? What really happened to the mortal remains of St Thomas Becket? Were the bones indeed hidden from Henry VIII's commissioners and reburied later in a secret location within the Cathedral? What was the significance of the grave discovered in 1888 and why in 1949 did the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury order its re-opening? Why does an obscure French Cardinal occupy a makeshift tomb in one of the most sacred areas of Canterbury Cathedral and what dark secret did two French legionnaires seek to reveal by prizing it open in 1990? For whom does the perpetual red lamp of a martyr burn in the sanctuary of the Chapel of St Mary Magdalene? And what is the significance of the spot in the Cathedral on which, twice a year, a small group of people still gathers to pray for the conversion of England? This book recounts the story of the quest for St Thomas Becket's bones over eight centuries and includes evidence that has only recently come to light. A story of politics, science, religion, conjecture and romanticism, it explores the mystery of the survival of Catholic England's most precious relics and presents a hypothesis as to their fate.

Description: Pilgrims during the fourth and fifth centuries A.D. often reported visiting holy people as part of their tours of holy places in the deserts of Egypt and the holy land. This is the first comprehensive study of pilgrimage to these famous ascetics. Through an original analysis of pilgrim writings of this period, Georgia Frank discovers a literary imagination at work, one which both recorded and shaped the experience of pilgrimage. Frank focuses in particular on two important and well-known early texts--The History of the Monks in Egypt (ca. 400) and Palladius's Lausiac History (ca. 420), situating these narratives in their literary, historical, and spiritual contexts. Bringing in contemporary theory, she explores the relationship between the function of sight in these narratives and in other expressions of visual piety in late antiquity Christianity, such as the veneration of relics, and eventually, icons. With its unique focus on the sensory dimensions of pilgrimage--especially on visuality--this absorbing book widens our understanding of early Christian pilgrims and those who read their accounts. At the same time, it sheds new light on the relationship between religious experience and the senses, on literary representations of visual experience, and on the literature of pious travel.
