On this episode, Mark welcomes Dr Steve Tibble to discuss his new book 'The Assassins and Templars: A Battle in Myth and Blood'. Fascinated by the topic, Mark quickly likes to dig into the actual history of the Assassins and Templar's with Steve to establish where these groups predominantly came from. How did they achieve the projected influence they wielded and even down the ages to the extent what were very small groups are still being discussed today. Albeit not always achieving their tactical aims, the success of their influence to get deals and to be treated as equals made them one of the most intriguing stories to emerge from the Middle Ages.
