a little help please

I was just checking out some of the new site and under the Templar section it talks about Lanceolot being part of the templars? Is this true or just a glitch inputing new material into the site?

What I figure it means is that after the fall of Arthur, Lancelot goes on to become one of the founding members of what will become The Knights Templar.

I've been holding off on reading Clothar until The Eagle comes out so I don't know whether Jack has written in a group known as The Knights of the Round Table, but I imagine that The Knights Templar arise from the ashes of what was once Arthur's Knights, Round Table or not.

Of course this is just my particular supposition.

Hi, Corymrguy... That's quite a pen name you have there.

No, I think what you saw was a comment from Cathy or one of the other contributors, saying that, in her opinion, Clothar/Lancelot will end up being one of the founding members of the Knights Templar.

That's an intersting thought, but I can't subscribe to it, because the Templars were not founded until 1118/1119 A.D , and so I find myself wondering what Clothar/Lancelot might have done to pass the time during the intervening six hundred years between the end of one tale and the start of the next...

All is not always as it seems, my friend, and it's always a good idea to go back and re-read what you think you've readm before you commit yourself to making a comment on the topic.

Nope Jack, not a quote from me. This is what you get if you click on the link to the left that says "Templars":

[quote:]Templars

This is the next series planned for publication. The tentative title of the series is "Knights of the Black and White: The Rise and Fall of the knights Templar". It traces Lancelot's history through the Knights Templar who originally called themselves "The Poor Fellow Soldiers of Jesus Christ".[/quote:]

Bad connection in Mark's brain as he typed up the description, probably. I think the Templar series is supposed to be completely seperate from the Dream of Eagles series, and Arthur's little buddy Clothar would need to be pretty darn old to be around at the founding of the Templars.

Didn't I post the other day that Lucius Domitius Aurelianus defeated Hannibal? Happens to all of us....

Thanks Jack ... I thought there was some type of time frame problem there. But alas all is well in the Templars section it has been corrected without the above mentioned information must have been some type of glitch.:woohoo:
