From Robert Ambelain's "Templars & Rose-Croix":

Here is an important point, often passed over in silence. In a work entitled History of the Military Order of the Holy Sepulcher, published in Rome, without a precise date, under the pontificate of Pius X, and edited by the Roman Heraldic College, Count Pasini Frassoni, Historian of the Order, and assisted by two senior members of the Holy Sepulcher, tells us the following:

"In his description of the reception of Knights of the Holy Sepulcher, Zweller shows us that these knights were considered to be the true successors of the Templars..."

Hence the jealousy of the Order of Malta, material inheritor of the Temple.



To continue reading, go to page 7. I couldn't copy the text so I just wrote the start. It talks about how the members of the order continued operating and transmittig the original Templar tradition in high masonic degrees, after being disbanded by the Innocent VIII in 1490. It also talks about the hereditary rights of the order by the House of Bouillon.


Update - just found a great site on chivalric orders: http://www.chivalricorders.org/vatican/holysep.htm
