The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon (Latin: Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici), commonly known as the Knights Templar, the Order of the Temple (French: Ordre du Temple or Templiers) or simply as Templars, were among the most famous of the Western Christian military orders. The organization existed for nearly two centuries during the Middle Ages.
Officially endorsed by the Catholic Church around 1129, the Order became a favored charity throughout Christendom, and grew rapidly in membership and power. Templar knights, in their distinctive white mantles with a red cross, were among the most skilled fighting units of the Crusades. Non-combatant members of the Order managed a large economic infrastructure throughout Christendom, innovating financial techniques that were an early form of banking, and building fortifications across Europe and the Holy Land.
The Templars' existence was tied closely to the Crusades; when the Holy Land was lost, support for the Order faded. Rumors about the Templars' secret initiation ceremony created mistrust, and King Philip IV of France, deeply in debt to the Order, took advantage of the situation. In 1307, many of the Order's members in France were arrested, tortured into giving false confessions, and then burned at the stake. Under pressure from King Philip, Pope Clement V disbanded the Order in 1312. The abrupt disappearance of a major part of the European infrastructure gave rise to speculation and legends, which have kept the "Templar" name alive into the modern day.

Plot: Few followers of the Templar Legacy are unaware of the story of Prince Henry Sinclair; the 14th century Scottish Nobleman who was the last Earl of Orkney and a kin to the man who built the famed Rosslyn Chapel. Sinclair, of Scottish and Viking lineage, was a true adventurer worthy of his combined heritage. In 1398 Henry Sinclair traveled across the sea to Nova Scotia - a century before the famed voyage of Columbus. Traces the transatlantic journey of Prince Henry Sinclair. Examines such topics as Rosslyn Chapel, the Crusades, the Cathars, the bloodline of Christ theory and the Quest for the Holy Grail. Through the course of the film, the question is asked, "What is the Grail?" This question is answered through a comprehensive history of the Holy Relic and its possible connection to the Knights Templar. Unlike many documentaries, which use pan and scan pictures with a talking head voice over track, the Prince and the Grail uses location footage, costumed actors and interviews with experts on the topic.
