Why people recommend it
The Knights Templar and Their Myth by Peter Partner is a historical study published in 1987 that investigates the origins, history, and subsequent mythology surrounding the medieval military order. Ben Bowlin recommended the book on Stuff They Don't Want You To Know during the episode Who Were The Knights Templar? in March 2024. While discussing the sensational charges, conspiracy theories, and historical realities associated with the suppression of the Templars by Philip IV of France and Pope Clement V, Bowlin highlighted Partner's work as a pretty great text from 1987. He used the book to help ground the podcast's exploration of how historical facts often become obscured by centuries of myth-making, secret societies, and alternative histories. By referencing Peter Partner's research, Bowlin provided listeners with a reliable academic anchor for separating medieval reality from the enduring legends that continue to captivate popular imagination regarding the mysterious rise and fall of the legendary order of warrior monks.
