Outline

Landry undergoes his investiture and is made a brother of the Knights Templar, along with the other initiates. A wounded knight from the Order of Saint Lazarus arrives at the Chartres Temple, informing the Knights Templar that Pope Boniface has been murdered and King Philip has sent Gawain to wipe them out. The Templars travel to the Church of Saint Lazarus, where they are greeted by the leper knights, and are invited to stay, dine and pray with them. The King’s Army, led by Gawain, attack the Knights of Saint Lazarus and the Knights Templar at the Church of Saint Lazarus. Although outnumbered, Landry believes that God has provided the Lazarists and the Templars a method of defence – fire – which they use to slaughter a number of Gawain’s men, causing Gawain to retreat. Meanwhile at the palace, de Nogaret informs Philip that Louis followed his strategy to slaughter newly-baptised babies. The mother of one of the victims, Lydia, arrives at the palace to give witness, but realises that it was Louis, not the Templars, who killed her son. She is silenced and trapped by Louis before she can tell the others present. Louis successfully elopes with Margaret.
