MACOY'S TRESTLEBOARD

Knights Templar - 19th Century insight to the Knights Templar

Seven video Series from Robert Macoy's The Knights Templar 1873 book.

In our archives (it’s my office and another room with boxes full of books) at Macoy Publishing, we recently revisited the 1873 edition of The Knights Templars. C.G. Addison wrote his original work The Knights Templars in England in the early part of the 19th century. It was at the time, considered the source on the Crusaders. In the middle of the 19th century, Robert Macoy (33°) realized it was missing the most crucial element for our fraternity: the direct connection to Freemasonry. Macoy didn't just republish a history; he "enlarged" it to bridge the gap between the medieval Crusades and the modern American Commandery.
