To mark the 700th anniversary of the bull Pastoralis praeeminentiae, ordering the arrest of Templars across Europe, T.R.E.S. at Kalamazoo is organizing two sessions at the 42nd International Congress on Medieval Studies, May 10-13, 2007.
Our first session, Templar Survivals I: Suppression and Disposal, will concentrate on the trial of the Templars, the suppression of the Order, and the disposal of Templar properties. Where did displaced knights and brethren go and what became of Templar properties, both in Europe and the Latin East? Our second session, Templar Survivals II: Transmission and Reformation, will examine survivals and refoundations of the Order. Why have so many individuals and organizations -- from pre-revolutionary French clerics and post-revolutionary French aristocrats to eighteenth-century Scottish Freemasons -- appropriated the Templar past?
