Příběh jednoho z nejdůležitějších historických dokumentů středověku je současně příběhem jeho strážců templářských rytířů. Zkušený historik Andrew Sinclair nás s pomocí dosud nevyužívaných esoterických zdrojů, jako jsou sochy či architektura, seznamuje s osudy templářů po jejich potlačení francouzským králem Filipem IV. Sličným. I po zrušení řádu rytíři Templu nadále střežili své vědění a relikvie. Jejich dědictví z posledního útočiště na Rosslynu přešlo na prince Henryho St. Claira, hraběte z Orkney, který sto let před Kryštofem Kolumbem doplul do Nového světa. Všechna tato tajemství odhaluje jedinečný svitek z Kirkwallu na Orknejích.

Nalezení náhrobku postaveného jeho předky vedlo autora na cestu směřující k významnému přezkoumání nejen našich znalostí o objevení Ameriky, ale i o původu svobodných zednářů a jejich roli ve světové historii. Poutavá kniha o dějinách, která přesahuje hranice kultur a náboženství.

The mysterious history of Rosslyn Chapel and the Knights Templar is revealed in this authoritative volume by a descendent of its first patrons.In the 15th century, William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness and Baron of Roslin, built a Catholic chapel in the Midlothian region of Scotland. Famous for its esoteric symbolism, this flamboyant Gothic church was of great importance to the Knights Templar, who formed a third Temple of Solomon with the patronage of the Sinclair lairds.Historian Andrew Sinclair, whose own family lineage traces back to William, explores the rise and fall of Rosslyn over the course of centuries. It is a tale of religious conflicts and ancient relics, of epic battles and secret societies. Along the way, he dispels the many myths and misinterpretations that have grown up around Rosslyn, as the fortunes of the Sinclair family declined and the Church and Castle fell into ruin.

Andrew Sinclair explores the entire sweep of history - from the early role of terror as a tribal force and its incorporation into the rise of religious terrorism to later, politically fuelled violence.

This is the story of how the mysterious Order of the Knights Templar brought their treasures and secrets to Scotland. The author, using historical analysis, religious interpretation, and detective skills, finds a chapel of the Holy Grail and its architect, and, in Orkney, the Secret Scroll.

Explores the relationship between the poet's work and his self-destructive personal nature.

"The story of the Grail has never been told in full. This definitive shows how the idea of the Holy cup dated from pagan sacrifices in Babylon, Greece, the Nordic people and the Celts. The biblical and post-biblical accounts of the Grail continued fitfully through the Dark Ages then flowered in the early Middle Ages through the legends of King Arthur. The Knights Templar claimed to have discovered the Grail in Palestine and brought it to Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland, which throughout the Middle Ages many artefacts surfaced which were claimed as the Grail. Andrew Sinclair traces the histories of these various artefacts and assesses their varied claims; the Glastonbury bronze bowl, the Saint Elizabeth Cup from Egypt, the wooden cup from Nanteos in North Wales, the emerald bowl owned by Napoleon, the precios metal Grail said to be hidden in Rosslyn Chapel and sought there by Rudolf Hess."
