TEMPLAR FAMILIES
Founded in
c.
1120,
in the aftermath of the First Crusade in Jerusalem, the
Order of the Temple was a Christian brotherhood dedicated to the military
protection of pilgrims and the Holy Land, attracting followers and suppor-
ters throughout Christian Europe. This detailed study explores the close
relationship between the Order of the Temple and the landowning
families it relied upon for support. Focusing on the regions of Burgundy,
Champagne and Languedoc, Jochen Schenk investigates the religious
expectations that guided noble and knightly families to found and support
Templar communities in the European provinces, and examines the social
dynamics and mechanisms that tied these families to each other. The book
illustrates the close connection between the presence of Cistercians and the
incidence of crusading within Templar family networks, and offers new
insights into how collective identities and memory were shaped through
ritual and tradition among medieval French-speaking social elites.
