The Templars: Unraveling Historical Nonsense with Tower of London Historian Rory MacLellan

History Rage

This week we’re entering the world of myth and conspiracy with an organisation that is awash with historical nonsense. We are here this week with Historian, Author and Post Doctoral Researcher at the Tower of London, Rory MacLellan  who wants to rage that THE TEMPLARS DIDN'T SURVIVE, DIDN'T HAVE THE HOLY GRAIL AND ARE ACTUALLY QUITE DULL.

We’ll be talking about how the Order pretty much screwed up the crusades, how they're probably the least important military order and how they have been captured by groups that we, and they, would rather not be associated with.
