Freddy Silva First Templar Nation: How the Knights Templar created Europe's first nation-state

Muito bom o livro

If you have any interest in the authenticity and truth behind the Knights Templar and their history, this book is a MUST read! Freddy Silva by far is one of the most diligent researchers and authors of our time. His passion for writing historically and factually, matched by his equal passion for the Knights Templar and their legacy is profound, and is evident in this book First Templar Nation. I have been an avid reader and follower of Silva's work and books for many years. From the sacred sites around the world, crop circles, the Knights Templar, reincarnation and much more, Silva brings his valued research and amazing insight regarding all these subjects to the forefront for the world to learn about and connect with. I would LOVE to see the History Channel and Discovery Channel sign him up for his own show about these subjects. His knowledge of the Knights Templar and sacred sites is unprecedented. BRAVO! And thank you for bringing this information to all of us!

Freddy Silva did a great job presenting the sources that show how Portugal and the Templars were one unit long before the Templars were known to exist.What started out as a closely held family secret, quickly turned into a major world-wide organization led by St. Bernard of Clairvaux and his uncles, two of which were amongst the 9 original Templars and another cousin who went on to be the First King of Portugal as well as a Templar Brother... this book only peeks into the true history of Portugal and the Templars. Something I had already touched upon in my book: Columbus. The Untold Story but which Freddy expounds on greatly confirming that not all our history is what the Vatican friendly kingdoms had been telling us it was.... more will surely come out.

I just started to read this book and can not put it down very fascinating and informative being born Portuguese it is nice to finally see someone write a book about how it changed history in the world its to bad that people don't know about it and how the Portuguese Templar's helped make Portugal one of the riches country at the time can't wait to some day go and visit the city of Tomar

There are many books on the conventional history the Knights Templar. This is the first one on the history of the order in Portugal BEFORE it's official founding in 1128! Freddy Silva devoted 10 years of research in Portuguese archives to document this little known story. He tells this amazing story with interesting facts and humor. The reader will be educated and entertained, a wonderful combination.
