In the year 1118 AD, a French family of noble birth set forth to ride to the holy lands. Hugh De Paynes and Eight of his close relatives began the order of the Knights Templar to protect Pilgrims on their journey to the holy land. By the 13th Century the Templar order had become large in numbers and had now set up Preceptories across the known world. These Preceptories were farmsteads growing crops and breeding cattle, they were also the centre for a profitable venture. The Knights were sworn to poverty themselves yet they set up a banking system. A Pilgrim would leave their valuables and gold in return for a Chit, a small piece of paper with the amount deposited written on it. It would be signed by the head Preceptor to be cashed in on the Pilgrim's arrival in the holy land. The Templar Knights had fought in all the eight Crusades and now as the ninth ended many Knights made their way home to Europe and a dream of peace. The Templar Curse joins one such knight and his companion as they journey home to England not knowing what fate awaits them and their order.
Centuries ago, Templar knights defied the archangels and unearthed the copper scroll that revealed the locations of the gates to hell. Cursed for their forbidden act, they now roam the earth, protecting mankind from evil. But darkness stalks them, and battles they fight bring them ever closer to eternal damnation. One promise remains to give them salvation—the return of the seraphs. Embittered by his purpose, Merrick du Loire must honor an ancient pact and bring peace to his cousin's soul, releasing him from the clutches of their enemy. When he stumbles upon history professor Anne MacPherson, he discovers that she possesses a sacred artifact that marks her as a seraph. Duty demands he set aside his personal quest and locate the knight she's fated to heal. As Merrick struggles with conflicting oaths, Anne arouses buried hope and sparks forbidden desire that challenges everything he's sworn to uphold. Anne has six weeks to complete her thesis on the Knights Templar. When Merrick takes her to the Templar stronghold, he presents her with all she needs—and awakens a soul-deep ache that he alone can soothe. Yet loving Merrick comes with a price. If she admits she is destined for him, her gift of foresight predicts his death. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

The Reign of Philip the Fair by Joseph R. Strayer Pdf
The reign of Philip the Fair marks both the culmination of the medieval French monarchy and the beginning of the transition from the medieval to the modern period. In this long-awaited study of Philip's reign, Joseph R. Strayer discusses the king's personality, his quarrels with the Church and with neighboring rulers, and his relations with his subjects. He also examines developments in the French administrative system. In studying the decision-making process and the careers of hundreds of royal officials, the author determines how increases in royal power and in the effectiveness and complexity of the administration were achieved. He also considers how these changes affected the possessing classes and how Philip made them acceptable or at least tolerable to the politically conscious segment of the population. As Professor Strayer shows, under Philip, the balance of loyalty swung away from the local authorities and the Church Universal and toward the secular, sovergein state. the central administration grew so strong, and its efficiency so improved, that it became the model for many other European states. Joseph R. Strayer retired from Princeton University as Dayton-Stockton Professor of History in 1973. He is the author of numerous books and articles, including On the Medieval Origins of the Modern State and Medieval Statecraft and the Perspectives of History (both Princeton books). Originally published in 1980.
