They believed that during the second world war, German soldiers had very likely excavated the area. The three authors of the book wondered if Blanchefort had buried Templar treasure in the vicinity. In the 1982 book The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail it was pointed out that Rennes-le-Chateau was located close to the ancestral home of Bertrand de Blanchefort, fourth Grand Master of the Knights Templar.The 1998 novel Menorah conjectures that Saunière had found the seven-branched candelabra of the Temple of Jerusalem, destroyed and sacked by the Romans. He built a large estate between 18 that included the Rococo-style edifice, Villa Bethania and the Tour Magdala with an orangery. Saunière seemed to become very rich, very quickly.He was a pious cleric who believed he had stumbled on a great truth. While in this role, Saunière installed the statue of the Virgin Mary at Lourdes, the hugely popular pilgrimage site. The church was dedicated to Mary Magdalene, wife of Jesus Christ, who had fled to France after the crucifixion. A 19 th century French priest François-Bérenger Saunière (pictured above) discovered the truth about the Priory of Sion after being sent to run a church in the French village of Rennes-le-Château.This they would do until the time came to make the bloodline known to humanity. It was their role and destiny to defend the Grail, the bloodline, at all costs. The Templars were the Grail Knights spoken of in legend. The term Holy Grail means “Sang Real” or Royal Blood. This was to protect the bloodline of Jesus – the real Holy Grail. The Priory of Sion founded the Knights Templar to achieve its hidden objectives.It’s now under the control of the Benedictines. This church was the site of the bodily and spiritual “assumption” of the Virgin Mary into heaven (in Catholic dogma). The Priory and Abbey were one and the same thing. It was based on the site of the Byzantine Hagia Sion, which subsequently housed a monastic order called the Abbey of Our Lady of Mount Zion. The Priory of Sion was founded in Jerusalem after the First Crusade resulted in the capture of the city by Christian forces in 1099.Well, below, we’re going to examine the case for the existence of the Priory of Sion and the case for the prosecution.įirst – let’s hear from the defence – those who believe the Priory of Sion was very real. The Priory of Sion is utter nonsense invented by con artists and spread by the credulous. The history of the Knights Templar, in their view, does not require additional layers of fantasy to be fascinating. This is all of course discounted by mainstream medieval historians as hokum.
But what exactly was the Grail? A physical object like a cup used at the Last Supper or the bloodline of Jesus Christ? The so-called Sang Real? They were fighting and scheming for control of the Holy Grail. Subsequent centuries had seen a secret battle played out between different forces including the priory, the Templars, the church and Freemasons. The Knights Templar had been formed by the priory to achieve this objective, whatever the official reasons given for their creation. The priory’s aim was to reinstate the dynasty and establish a Christian theocracy over Europe ruled by the descendants of Jesus. Her descendants were the Merovingian kings overthrown in the eighth century CE who ruled over a large part of modern France, Germany and Switzerland. The Messiah had conceived at least one child with Mary Magdalene, who had fled to France after the crucifixion. The story goes that the Priory of Sion was formed to protect the sacred bloodline of Jesus Christ from the Catholic church, which feared the threat to its power and the terrible truth that would fatally undermine the papacy’s authority and fabulous wealth. This, as you will know, underlies the plot behind Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code. One of the great mysteries and contentious discussion points about the Knights Templar is whether the order was established by an already existing secret society called the Priory of Sion.
