One of my Patreon supporters asked me an interesting question: how did a man join the Knights Templar? In this podcast, we delve into the issue, and look at the process and vows involved in becoming a Templar Knight.

The thumbnail image "Templar Helm", and the images used in the podcast "Templar Mass" and "Templar Battle" are by the talented artist Gordon Napier. Check out his site:

If you're looking for good books on the Templars, these two are excellent:

Barber, Malcolm - The New Knighthood, (Cambridge, 1994)
Nicholson, Helen - The Knights Templar, (Sutton, 2001)
