To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Grand Master of the Hospitallers was summoned with de Molay but refused to attend, which was probably at that time the wisest course to adopt for his own safety and that of his Order. Later, however, the largest share of the Temple lands was given to the Knights of the Hospital. In obedience to the Pope's edicts the persecution spread through Europe, though with differing intensity. In Portugal, as we shall see later, though the Templars were disbanded they survived under a new name the Ord...er of Christ, which still exists. The alleged survival in Austria I will also deal with further on, and in Scotland there was practically no persecution at all. Thus at least in its original form passes out of history one of the greatest Orders of 11 Chivalry the world has ever known : an Order to which Christendom owes a heavy debt of gratitude, whose valiant deeds have long been the theme of story and song, and round whose name still clings an atmosphere of romance second only to that associated with the Knights of Arthur's Round Table and the quest of the Holy Grail.
