Knightfall plot
The Order of the Knights Templar was one of the most powerful, wealthy and mysterious military orders of the Middle Ages, charged with protecting the most expensive Christian relic - the Holy Grail - and safeguarding secrets that would allow for great destruction. Knightfall recounts the fall, persecution and burnings of the Templars, as orchestrated by Popes Clement V and Philip IV of France on Friday, October 13, 1307. At its center is Templar leader Sir Landry, a courageous fighter disheartened by the Templars' failure in the Holy Land, which is revived by the news that the Holy Grail has surfaced.
