Were the Templars digging for the Sangreal treasure? Dr. Barton.

No. Simple answer. Because there never was any Sangreal treasure. But Dr. Trevelyan expects me to write more than that.

When the Poor Knights of Christ arrived in Jerusalem they were, as their title suggests, poor. They petitioned the King to give them somewhere to live and he gave them his old palace on the Temple mount. It was a conversion job from a mosque, and he preferred his newer palace. Sir Leigh Teabing seems to think the king just gave them the stables, but he's wrong.

I'd write more, but I still have classes to teach.
