heard from Brother Robert of Tukenham that a Templar had a son who saw
through a partition that they asked one professing if he believed in the
Crucified, showing him the figure, whom they killed upon his refusing to

Templar said no, because he had seen this thing done. Saying this, he
was killed by his father.... The twenty-third witness, a Knight, said
that his uncle entered the Order healthy and joyfully, with his birds

was on account of the crimes he had heard of them, and that the cause of
his death was he would not consent to the evil deeds perpetrated by
other brethren."--Ibid., Part II. p. 13.

[171] Even Raynouard, the apologist of the Templars (op. cit., p. 19),
admits that, if less unjust and violent measures had been adopted, the
interest of the State and the safety of the throne might have justified
the abolition of the Order.
