New Online Course: The British Templars

The British Templars: Crusades and Conspiracies is a new online medieval studies course being offered by Medievalists.net. This six-week course begins on October 20 at 7:00 p.m. London time (2:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time) and includes live 90-minute sessions with the instructors.

This course tells the true story of the British Templars, a story less lurid than the current conspiracy theories but every bit as extraordinary. It sheds light on their strategies and activities, and perhaps even rehabilitates their popular image. The course is being taught by Steve and Faith Tibble. As part of the course you will get a digital copy of Steve’s new book, Templars: The Knights Who Made Britain, which was just published by Yale University Press.
