Nova Scotia and the Knights Templar?

DennisTate · Jun 15, 2015

I heard of this legend about the Holy Grail being taken to Nova Scotia about a decade ago.

It is nice to have found an article that explains more about this possibility.

This would tend to explain how some claim that Christopher Columbus actually had a map showing the existence of North America and South America.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_I_Sinclair,_Earl_of_Orkney

Intertwined with the Sinclair voyage story is the claim that Henry Sinclair was a Knight Templar and that the voyage either was sponsored by or conducted on the behalf of the Templars, though the order was suppressed almost half a century before Henry's lifetime.

Knight and Lomas speculate that the Knights Templar discovered under the Temple Mount in Jerusalem a royal archive dating from King Solomon's times that stated that Phoenicians from Tyre voyaged to a westerly continent following a star called "La Merika". According to Knight and Lomas, the Templars learned that to sail to that continent, they had to follow a star by the same name. Sinclair supposedly followed this route.[21]
The theory also makes use of the supposed Templar connection to explain the name Nova Scotia ("New Scotland" in Latin). It is based on the 18th-century tale that some Templars escaped the suppression of their order by fleeing to Scotland during the reign of Robert the Bruce[22] and fought in the Battle of Bannockburn.[23]

Claims persist that Rosslyn Chapel contains Templar imagery. Andrew Sinclair speculates that the grave slab now in the crypt is that of a Templar knight:[24] According to author Robert Lomas, the chapel also has an engraving depicting a knight templar holding the sword over a head of an initiate, supposedly to protect the secrets of the templars.[25] Rosslyn Chapel was built by Sir William St Clair, last St Clair Earl of Orkney, who was the grandson of Henry. According to Lomas, Sir William, the chapel builder, is also the direct ancestor of the first Grand Master of Masons of Scotland, also named William St Clair (Sinclair).[25]

According to Lomas, the Sinclairs and their French relatives the St. Clairs were instrumental in creating the Knights Templar. He claims that the founder of Templars Hugh de Payns was married to a sister of the Duke of Champaine (Henri de St. Clair),[26] who was a powerful broker of the first Crusade and had the political power to nominate the Pope, and to suggest the idea and empower it to the Pope.

However, a biography of Hugues de Payen by Thierry Leroy [27] identifies his wife and the mother of his children as Elizabeth de Chappes. The book draws its information on the marriage from local church cartularies dealing chiefly with the disposition of the Grand Master's properties, the earliest alluding to Elizabeth as his wife in 1113, and others spanning Payen's lifetime, the period following his death and lastly her own death in 1170.

Knights Templar Federico "N" captured...

Mexico arrests Knights Templar Cartel leader linked to 35 murders
March 27, 2017 -- Mexico's National Security Commission, or CNS, said Federal Police officers captured a leader of the Knights Templar Cartel who is connected to at least 35 murders.[/I]

The CNS said the suspect -- identified as Federico "N" -- is accused of kidnapping and extortion and is considered a generator of violence linked to 35 homicides. He was arrested in the state of Nayarit and then taken to a maximum security prison in the state of Sinaloa, the CNS said on Saturday.

The Knights Templar Cartel, which is made up of remnants of the splintered La Familia Michoacana drug cartel, mainly operates in the state of Michoacán on Mexico's Pacific coast, south of Guadalajara.

When arrested, the suspect had fake documents in which he was identified as Raúl Ochoa, officials said. The CNS said authorities seized about 20 properties belonging to the suspect, which officials believe were illegally taken from their rightful owners or bought with illicit funds.

Mexican security forces said they captured a leader of the Knights Templar Cartel -- identified as Federico "N" -- who is accused of kidnapping, extortion and violence linked to 35 homicides. He is also accused of controlling the transport of drugs along Mexico's Pacific coast.

The suspect is also accused of controlling the transport of drugs on Mexico's Pacific coast coming from South America. Mexico's Federal Police has arrested dozens of Knights Templar Cartel members in recent years, crippling the organization's leadership.
