The book, based on extensive historical material, discusses the development of medieval secret societies created by people who sought to master and apply mystical knowledge far beyond the dogmas of their faith, showing the sources of their conflicts with the ruling circles. These include the Templars - militant monks who proved their devotion to their religion and its truth through the force of arms, and the Assassins - the first monastic military order in Islam, which, spreading its doctrine, eliminated Muslims and Christians alike without discrimination in the territories they occupied, using the hands of the mulahids, fanatic killers. In addition to the Templars and Assassins, this historical study tells about the secret tribunals of Westphalia, also known as the Vehmic courts - unique citizen vigilance committees that conducted secret trials and rigorously executed sentences in the Middle Ages, when lawlessness reigned in Germany. This classic study by the English historian Thomas Keightley, distinguished by its deep insight into the subject, is of interest to any curious and inquisitive contemporary.
