Product Information

On September 28, 2008, mindFactory released a fan-made freeware Broken Sword game, called Broken Sword 2.5: The Return of the Templars. [76] Awards and nominations [ edit ] Year The elaborate craftsmanship and design of these swords, particularly the distinct elements such as the knight’s head pommel, cross and crown grip, and ornate blades, reflect the pride and dedication of the craftsmen who created them. As the popularity of fraternal organizations grew, prominent American sword manufacturers like Frank Henderson played a pivotal role in shaping the legacy of sword making. His partnership with Theron F Giddings and later association with the Ames Sword Company further solidified his reputation in the industry, leading to the establishment of the Henderson Ames Company. The subsequent acquisition of Henderson Ames by The M. C. Lilley and Company marked a significant chapter in the evolution of fraternal regalia production. a b c d e f g h Crookes, David (November 2006). "The Making of... Broken Sword". Retro Gamer.

HISTORICAL FACT: When the Crusaders captured Jerusalem in 1099, they elected Godfrey de Bouillon to rule the City, but he, a pious man, refused to accept the title of king in the city where Christ was crucified. He would only accept the title, "Defender of the Holy Sepulchre." Further, Godfrey lived only one year after the capture, dying in 1100. The Templars did not form until 1118 or 1119, under the sanction of King Baldwin II of Jerusalem. Wales, Matt (February 20, 2009). "Broken Sword: The Director's Cut First Look". IGN.

The neo-nazi's searching for Templar treasure is commonly covered in stories of this type, and this didn't offer too much to the exploration of this.

The ceremonial sword of the Freemasons is only referred to as a Knights Templar sword after the name of the fraternal group, but not relevant to the historical swords of the medieval knights. The crusader sword was an arming sword with a plain cruciform hilt, while the Masonic swords are decorative. I liked the fast-paced nature of the book and the plots that came to the forefront. Holiday sped all around the world, meeting numerous other characters and the reader was able to learn a great deal about so many countries and cultures.

De Molay was an old man, tired with life and proud of his achievements. He knew that the tragedy which touched his brothers and himself was the result of schemes. He was also aware that the king of France had decided to torture and finally execute innocent people - the loyal knights of France. Thus, when he was dying he cursed everyone who recommended his murder. With the chronological list below you should be able to get a rough date as to when your sword was made.

In September 2001, Barbara Frale, an Italian Paleographer at the Vatican Secret Archives discovered a document known as the Chinon Parchment. It claims that in 1308 Pope Clement V absolved Jacques De Molay and the rest of the leadership of the Knights Templar from charges brought against the Inquisition. Six years later, the Vatican published the document as a limited edition of 800 copies. Many of those asking questions are hoping that they possess a sword from the Middle Ages when the Templars fought in the crusades. They are soon disappointed when they are told that the ornate sword they now possess couldn’t possibly be authentic as the Templar Rule forbade all ornamentation on weapons. Inevitably the sword they are inquiring about is a fraternal Knights Templar sword or “society sword” as they are called among collectors.
