"The Templars - Christian chivalry in the Middle Ages", Alain Demurger


The Order of the Temple is the first example of an original creation of Western medieval Christianity: the religious-military order. In the XIIᵗʰ century, the new knight of Christ takes the monk's vows, lives by a rule, but acts in the century. For his faith, he fights, kills and dies. Created to protect pilgrims to Jerusalem, the order extended its mission to the defense of the Latin states of the East, then to Reconquista Spain.
Its indictment by French King Philip the Fair in 1307 was followed by an unfair trial and its suppression in 1312. The Order of the Temple became the scapegoat for a conflict that went beyond it, exacerbated in France by the personality of the king and his advisors: the rivalry between a spiritual power on the defensive and the modern state that had been asserting itself in the West since the middle of the XIIIᵗʰ century.
Alain Demurger
Honorary lecturer at the University of Paris I-Panthéon-Sorbonne, he is the author of "Chevaliers et chevalerie expliqués à mes petits-fils" (Seuil, 2009).

Ordering a sword
I ordered a sword from Teressens, and I am very satisfied on several points:
The quality of the product received,
the care taken in packaging the product
the friendliness of the sales team
and the engraving was superb, even though I'd originally submitted a project that wasn't at all! So bravo for your work.

Paint washes off too easily
Shipped on time.
But when it was placed on its support, despite all the precautions taken, the red paint of a cross immediately faded.
The quality isn't quite up to scratch. It's a shame.

During shipping, it would be interesting to put a piece of polystyrene under the middle of the blade, because during transport a heavier parcel was placed on the package and the blade arrived slightly bent, apart from that everything is perfect.
