Assassins and Templars in Popular Culture: A Battle in Myth and Blood

A Conversation with Steve Tibble and Peter Konieczny

When: Wednesday 09 July, 19.30-20.30
Where: Stage@Leeds: Stage 3

This event is free of charge.

The Assassins and the Templars developed strikingly similar, almost parallel, strategies of death. Their fanaticism changed the medieval world and, even up to the present day, they have become endlessly conjoined in myth and blood, conspiracy, and memory. This discussion looks at how, and why, they have become such a central part of modern popular culture - in video games, TV, movies, podcasts, social media, and popular publishing.

This event will be livestreamed on Medievalists.net and will be followed by a drinks reception.
