Narrative Conducive To Books Requiem: The Fall of the Templars (Brethren Trilogy #3)
The internationally bestselling author of Brethren and Crusade tells the cataclysmic story of the last days of the Knights Templar. Robyn Young’s historical fiction has topped international bestseller lists and won praise from the likes of Raymond Khoury, Steve Berry, and Alison Weir. The Fall of the Templars chronicles an era few people know about—what happened when the Templars returned from the Crusades and found that the monarchs of Europe did not want an army of religious warriors back on European soil. Leaving the Christian empire in the East in ruins, Knight Templar Will Campbell returns to the West to discover that the Temple has forged an alliance with his enemy, King Edward of England, vowing to help the king wage war on Scotland. This pact against his homeland strikes at the core of Will’s faith and allegiances, while his daughter, Rose, is led into a dangerous affair in the French royal household. Will now faces a choice: Should he protect his family, or lead his men into a new world? The fight for the Holy Land has ended. But the Temple’s last battle has just begun.Itemize About Books Requiem: The Fall of the Templars (Brethren Trilogy #3)

This one moves away from the crusades and the focus is on the downfall of the templar knights , we follow Will as he heads home and meets William Wallace and fights in the battle of Falkirk , to returning to France and trying to prevent the coup which killed the order.Very interesting trilogy.A great closure to the Brethren trilogy. Guillaume de Nogaret is portrayed as utterly irritating character whose mind is twisted enraged by his parents death for preaching heresy being Cathars, fueled by revenge over it which I feel motivates his actions in this story. However, I'm quite surprised how easy it seems for Rose to return to her father, Will. After years of hating him since he left her in Acre at the end of 'Crusades', it was rather quick she had the need for him after her affair
2.5 starsSlightly better than the other two - read to tie up the trilogy as I hate loose ends. Readable but the dialogue is gauche and the plotting weak. Many characters are irritating.
I can't decide which of these three books was my favourite. But I have to say, this one was particularly epic because (view spoiler)[Will returns to Scotland and we finally meet his estranged family (hide spoiler)]!Like its predecessors, the interaction of the historical figures and events isn't just Templars vs Muslims, the book also considers other influences, political or otherwise, that intertwine with the plot of the book.This one focuses (as the freakin' title says) on the Fall of the
Concluding volume of the Brethren trilogy on the Templars. This one does just what its title promises: recounts the eventual fall and dissolution of the Templar order. Will Campbell, the Scottish Templar, deserts, and wanting to fight for his native land against Edward I of England, joins the rebels under William Wallace and reconnects with family members, whom he hasn't seen for decades. After the unsuccessful Battle of Falkirk, he returns to France and is caught up in the politics between the
Finally finished The Fall of the Templars by Robyn Young, returned it to the library, and made a donation due to my tardiness.While it took a while to read, it was more my fault than the books. Having said that, the book does span some twenty years telling the tale of how the French King Philippe disbanded the once almighty Knights Templar.At the heart of the story is Will Campbell, a troubled man who was a Knight as was his father. A Scot, Will leaves the order to defend his homeland against
Ugh, I really tried to give this piece of crap a chance, but the jejune dialogue rendered all of the characters unbelievable and clunky. Young's description of clothing and environment reads like flickering images that focus upon strange details that in no way enhance the storytelling. She takes for granted that everyone must know the names of every item comprising a full set of English battle armor, then underscores a mundane gesture like striking a table just in case the inappropriately
