Knights Templar, the Poor Fellow - Soldiers of Chr*st and of the Temple of Solomon, was maybe the most famous of the Christian military orders. It was created in the aftermath of the First Crusade of 1096. Armed with daggers, swords and shields, members of the Order played a key part in many battles of the Crusades. This was possible because they were both monks and soldiers, making them one of the earliest warrior monks in the Western world. The Order's infrastructure innovated many techniques that are the foundation of modern banking. Being almost millennium ahead of their time the Order gained wealth and power throughout Europe during two centuries in the Middle Ages. In 1307 King Philip IV of France had French Knights Templars arrested and burned at the stake. The speed of their disappearance has led to several Knights Templar legends.

Holy Grail "lies at stately home"
A Canadian cryptologist believes part of the Holy Grail lies in or close to a Staffordshire estate. Louis Buff Parry has spent two years studying letters etched on a monument in Shugborough which are widely believed to be some sort of code. He said it is a message the Grail is buried nearby. He believes a Holy Grail stone was captured in France and brought back to Shugborough in 1746 by Admiral George Anson. He believes the D and the M stand for 1500 in Roman Numerals and refer to the 1,500th verse of Genesis. The lack of a full stop after the final V means the part of the code should be read from right to left, spelling VVA... | by bbc :: 2006-03-17 |

Code points away from Holy Grail
An inscription etched on a marble tablet at a stately home could be a hidden message from an 18th Century Christian sect, code-breakers say. Specialists from Bletchley Park were asked to decipher the inscription on the Shepherd's Monument at Shugborough. The code has baffled great minds for years and had been rumoured to point to the location of the Holy Grail. Experts now think the code is a message from a sect called the Priory of Sion. It was commissioned in 1748 by the then earl, Thomas Anson, and features a carved image of a Nicholas Poussin painting with the letters D OUOSVAVV M inscribed below. | by bbc :: 2004-11-26 |
