This list of the Grand Masters of the Knights Templar Order follows Malcolm Barber’s dates except in case of Richard de Bures, whose dates are taken from P.P. Read. I make no attempt to represent the fictitious list of Grand Masters who supposedly followed De Molay in a secret succession. The list is found in the Larmenius Charter which I believe to be fake.

Now that’s a family to be proud of regardless of ongoing and defamating claims. Personally I have spent a long time in the presence of the bloodlines and legacy left behind by these great men. What’s greater is the truth..
