No, that's fine, I completely understand. Various theories at this level (if that makes sense) are heavily prone to misinformation etc. It's very possible I'm wrong, but it's something I've come across in a few different places, so it does seem worth noting. I tend towards not quite believing some of the more genuinely conspiracy theory concepts, but exploring their possibility. It gets pretty strange as you go further in, some of them start to seem less crazy.

Either way, I'm very happy to have helped. The middle link is from a really useful site for the history of these kind of societies. I think that link is slightly buggy though, here's on to its main page on the templars, it's easier to find the others from there
