Knights Templar And the Freemasons

The Knights Templar, formed in 1118, quickly became fabulously wealthy and for almost 200 years worked hand in hand with the Operative Freemasons of the time. They funded much of the Gothic Architecture period and built many cathedrals. But in 1307, on the original Friday the 13th, they were savagely disbanded. Where did the wealth come from? Were the Freemasons just a group the Knights could depend on, or were the two organizations clandestinely entertwined?Taylor, Mark is the author of 'Knights Templar And the Freemasons ' with ISBN 9781589614567 and ISBN 1589614569.
