Re: Templar Grand Masters

[Gerald Gibbons <templar@net-link.net>]

Dear Laurel & interested Friends,
1.>    Is there a list of the Templar Grandmasters? 
I would agree with the previous list which I found on page 477 of "Dungeon,
Fire, and Sword" by John J. Robinson  ISBN 0-87131-657-9  (I might recommend
his other 2 books --"Born In Blood" &"A Pilgrim's Path".  Others might find a
listing on page 131 of "Holy Blood Holy Grail" by Baigent, Leigh, Henry
Lincoln interesting?

 > I have seen references to the Templar organization in modern times. 

2.> Is there a history of the Templars after 1400?  
Yes, but  after reading about 18  books over the last few years I am not able 
to give you  a short answer.  Only  that  lately most deal with the idea of
Prince Henry Sinclair's landing and settlements in North America and the
construction of Rosslyn Chapel..

3.> What is the present day structure of the organization?
I can only relate this question to an organization (which I belong to) from
personal experience.  I would refer you to:  "Highllights of Templar History"
by William Moseley Brown and "The York Rite of Freemasonry -- A History and
Handbook" by Frederick G. Speidel  from  GRAND ENCAMPMENT, KNIGHTS TEMPLAR OF
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA  <http://www.knightstemplar.org> Mailing address
is 5097 North Elston Avenue, Suite 101, Chicago, Illinois 60630-2460  Call
773-777-3300 Fax 773-777-8836   You might find the "Royal Order of Scotland"
another sourse for information.  There are links to their web sites, too.  
Hope this helps!
