Description: This is a study
of the appearances of the Knights Templar, Knights Hospitaller and Teutonic
Knights in the French, German and English epic and romance literature of the
Middle Ages. It examines their religious roles, such as caring for the sick,
their warrior role of fighting Muslims, and examines the role of
"Templars" in the Grail romances.
It traces how
these roles developed over time and considers what function the appearances of
these military religious orders performed in the composition of a work of
fictional literature. The frequent appearances of the Military Orders in
medieval fictional literature are of interest both to historians and to
literary specialists.
This study
considers the subject in depth across the medieval period. It is aimed at
academics interested in the history of the Military Orders and of the Crusades;
medieval literary specialists working on texts which include the Military
Orders; and all those with an interest in the Grail legend.
