The Assassins and the Templars are two of history’s most
legendary groups. One was a Shi’ite religious sect, the other a
Christian military order created to defend the Holy Land. Violently
opposed, they had vastly different reputations, followings, and
ambitions. Yet they developed strikingly similar strategies―and
their intertwined stories have, oddly enough, uncanny
parallels.
Medieval historian and author Dr. Steve Tibble traces the history
of these two groups from their origins to their ultimate
destruction. He shows how, outnumbered and surrounded, they
survived only by perfecting “the promise of death,” either in the
form of a Templar charge or an Assassin’s dagger. Death, for
themselves or their enemies, was at the core of these extraordinary
organisations.
Their fanaticism changed the medieval world―and, even up to the
present day, in video games and countless conspiracy theories, they
have become endlessly conjoined in myth and memory.
