This book, using extensive historical material, chronicles the development of medieval secret societies created by people who sought to master and apply mystical knowledge that went far beyond the dogmas of their faith, and reveals the sources of their conflicts with the ruling elite. These include the Templars—militant monks who demonstrated their devotion to their religion and its truth by force of arms—and the Assassins—the first monastic military order in Islam, which, while spreading its doctrine, eliminated indiscriminately both Muslims and Christians from the territories it occupied through the use of Mulahids, fanatical murderers.

Besides the Templars and Assassins, this historical study tells of the secret tribunals of Westphalia, also known as Fehm courts—a kind of citizen vigilance committee that administered secret justice and strictly carried out sentences during the lawless Middle Ages in Germany. This classic study by the English historian Thomas Keightley, distinguished by its deep insight into the subject, is of interest to any inquisitive and inquisitive contemporary.
