In the early 14th century, the Knights Templar were suppressed, and
the 200-year history of this military religious order came to an
abrupt end. Or did it? What if some of the Templars escaped
persecution, and continued to operate secretly until the present,
holding on to precious religious relics and maybe even discovering
America? In this episode of History’s Greatest Conspiracy Theories,
Rob Attar is joined by medieval historian Steve Tibble to explore
why myths have surrounded the Templars since the Middle Ages – and
explain how Rosslyn Chapel and the Holy Grail fit into the story.
