The Templar Knights have long been a symbol of martial prowess and spiritual dedication, but recent events have cast a shadow over their once-unquestioned authority. This conference, held at the opulent castle of Reginald Front-de-Boeuf, invites theologians, knights, and the clergy to debate the moral implications of the Order’s actions and its future role in the kingdom.
The forum will begin with an opening address from Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert, who will provide a firsthand account of the Order’s military campaigns, speaking on the challenges they face in upholding the Templar code amidst rising tensions in the Holy Land. Following his address, a panel of esteemed theologians, including a monk from St. Edmund’s Abbey, will discuss the delicate balance between earthly conflicts and spiritual pursuits, questioning whether the ideals of peace can be reconciled with the demands of warfare.
In addition to these theological debates, there will be workshops on Templar military tactics, led by seasoned commanders who will demonstrate the strategic innovations that have made the Order a formidable force on the battlefield. Participants can engage in discussions on how the Templar code of honor and discipline can be upheld in times of peace, with a focus on rebuilding trust and solidarity both within the Order and with the local communities they serve. The conference concludes with a candlelit vigil, a solemn tribute to those who have fallen in the line of duty, reflecting on the sacrifices made in the name of faith and duty.
