Henry Lincoln

Independent discoverers of the Priory of Sion.

What is the Priory of Sion? Are we sure it exists? How does this relate to the hierarchy? The Priory of Sion was unknown to the general public until 1982 when a book co-authored by Michael Bajent, Richard Lee, and Henry Lincoln came out.

The book was entitled Holy Blood, Holy Grail, and it offered historical proof that an organization called the Priory of Sion was powerful and had existed since the time of the early crusades, 199 AD.

In 1991, I came out a little more information on the Priory of Sion.

The rumors from the Middle Ages may seem unbelievable, but knights admitted to participating in horrific rituals that were linked to the worship of a supposedly demonic idol named Baphomet.

As Michael Bygent, Richard Leah, and Henry Lincoln put it in Holy Blood, Holy Grail, quote,

Subjected to interrogation by the Inquisition, a number of knights referred to something called Baphomet.

Too many, and in too many different places for Baphomet to be the invention of a single individual or every single perceptory.

A lot of interesting things happened to me in airports, and I was in one in Boston in 1996 with a couple of hours to kill.

I walked into the bookstore and picked up a book by Richard Beijant, Richard Lee, and Henry Lincoln.

It was one of their books in the Holy Blood, Holy Grail series.

I had never heard much about the Templars before, except for what I had read about in a history class long, long ago.

And part of what made it very successful was the fact that Dan Brown and his wife, who did a lot of the work, was just a very good researcher.

He just pulled on any number of novels and also many nonfiction works, starting with The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail as ways of building the case for there being this bloodline.

You may have heard, a lot of people heard in 2006 and 2007, the authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail, Richard Bajant, Richard Lee, and Henry Lincoln to a very minor extent, sued Dan Brown for plagiarism.

They spent really millions of dollars of their own money launching this suit and lost, and also lost on appeal.

Yeah.

Henry Lincoln, and I forget-

Are they British?
