Summary of Michael Baigent & Richard Leigh's The Temple and the Lodge

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Knights Templar lost their primary purpose in life after the fall of Acre in 1291, which was to protect the Holy Land. They were arrested in 1307 and executed the following year. The Order of the Temple was dissolved by the Pope in 1312.

#2 The Kingdom of Scotland was a unified Celtic kingdom that was established in 1124, after the Picts were subsumed by the Dalriada. It was the only Celtic realm with well-formed and independent political institutions at the beginning of the high middle ages.

#3 The Normans first ventured into Scotland under William Rufus, son of William the Conqueror, but there was no large-scale or successful Norman penetration until David’s time. David was a thoroughly Celtic king, son of the Celtic king Malcolm III, but he allowed large numbers of Norman and Flemish knights into the country.

#4 The Celtic element remained prevalent in Scottish society until the end of the thirteenth century. The coronation of Alexander III in 1249 was typical of the Celtic rites that prevailed in Scotland long after they had vanished elsewhere.
