Welcome back, Ragers, to a special live edition of History Rage from the Gloucester History Festival! Today, host Paul Bavill sits down with medievalist crusader historian, Steve Tibble, to rage against the mountains of misinformation surrounding the Templars. Discover the true, extraordinary story of the Templars and why the wild conspiracy theories about them are not only unnecessary but downright insulting.


Unveiling the Real Templars: Steve Tibble sets the record straight on the Templars, debunking myths and highlighting their genuine historical significance.

  • The origins and true mission of the Templars in the Holy Land.
  • Their role as peacekeepers, diplomats, and agriculturists in Western Europe.
  • Their unique combination of piety and military prowess.


Templar Accomplishments and Misconceptions:

  • The Templars' contributions to banking, logistics, and state-building.
  • Their disciplined, regimented lifestyle and the real reasons behind their bravery.
  • The absurdity of conspiracy theories from medieval times to the present day.


Templar Legends and Modern Myths:

  • The medieval and modern-day conspiracy theories that plague the Templars' legacy.
  • Why the Templars do not need fabricated stories to be fascinating.
  • Their genuine historical impact versus the fictional accounts of treasure hunting and secret religions.
