Sir Gerard de Rodes:
Just thought some of you may find this article about the effigies in the Temple Church in London interesting.

Sir Edward:
Wow, it certainly does get complicated.

Sir James A:
Well, that was certainly a brain twister. She raises some very valid points, and also touched on something I wondered about - what does the crossed or uncrossed legs mean. At least we know our Marshal coat of arms is correct, even if we aren't sure the effigy is! :)

Sir William:
William the Marshal died an excommunicate?  I had not read that anywhere else...given that he was buried as a Templar, that kind of knocks that notion to the ground doesn't it?

I believe it was Sir Edward who said (upon the Book of Faces) that Marshal took the Templar vows on his death bed?
