First Templar Nation.

How the Knights Templar created
Europe's first nation-state.

Their greatest accomplishment is the one never told.

Fusing rare sources and engaging storytelling, this provocative work by bestselling author Freddy Silva uncovers a previously unknown chapter in Templar history that places the intrepid knights in a previously unknown time and place. It reveals how the Templars, in collusion with Cistercian monks and a mysterious group residing in an abbey on Mount Sion, carried out their greatest and least-known enterprise — the creation of Europe’s first nation-state.

The Knights Templar was established on Temple Mount in 1118. But what if it could be shown that at least seven years prior to this date the order was already active in a land on the other side of Europe? And that three years before receiving public approval from the pope, Grand Master Hugues de Payns secretly dispatched five knights with the power to establish a country that did not yet exist?

But what motivated the Templars to establish this virgin territory 2000 miles west of Jerusalem?
Was it related to a secret discovery under Temple Mount that required protection from the Church, and for which the knights would rather die than reveal?
Why did they build initiation chambers and source ancient temples dedicated to Isis?
Why the obsession with John the Baptist and Mary Magdalene?
Why did Portuguese Templar Masters vow to protect a holy bloodline?
And why did their guidance come from an abbot in Clairvaux rather than the pope?

Covering numerous territories and epochs, this fast-paced historical detective story shows how the Templars were not only instrumental in creating the state of Portugal, they subsequently built a kingdom within a kingdom where they practiced a gnostic ritual called ‘raising the dead’, and left the one object they are most identified with: the Grail.

This original, eye-opening account will engage and surprise even the most seasoned Templar enthusiasts.
