I remember when I first heard of the word templar, back in 1993. For having an unusual title I decided to buy the novel The Name of the Rose (originally written in Italian) by Umberto Eco. Having enjoyed that book -- superficially a murder mystery set in 14th century Italian monastery -- I bought his other book, Foucault's Pendulum,
This is where I read a lot of stuff about Knights Templars who had fallen out of favour of the Kings and the Pope after having been regarded high for two centuries.
Both were unusual books -- fictional works from a philosopher and a scholar!
