	The man of mystery
		But the inventory of this holy object also seems to have a connection with the history of Perillos, specifically as it is known that in recent years, one person, Bill Cooper, claimed that all of these artefacts were located in the South of France – and were at the core of the mystery of Rennes-le-Château.
		He was told not to make such “delirious statements”, but to argue that his claims are purely the result of an unbalanced individual, seems to be a bizarre statement, specifically in light of the previous history, which is that the Nazis did research in the very area Lhomoy claimed he had made his discovery in.
		Thus, there is one persistent rumour which reports that the excavations under the castle of Gisors did uncover something; that four trunks were discovered by the soldiers, the contents of which were used by General de Gaulle to pay a debt towards the United States.

		Long before we reached Gisors, we had a view of the keep of the castle, rising majestically above the town, which is indeed at present "une assez maussade petite ville, qui n'a guère qu'une rue." From its position and general outline, the castle, at first view, resembles the remains of Launceston, in Cornwall.
		Gisors itself existed before the tenth century; but its chief celebrity was due to William Rufus, who, anxious to strengthen his frontiers against the power of the kings of France, caused Robert of Bellême to erect this castle, in 1097.
		During the wars between France and England, in the fifteenth century, Gisors was repeatedly won and lost by the contending parties.

	Templar Treasure Gisors
		Markale, in his Introduction, reveals those aspects of his own history, and that of Gisors (it's roughly half way between Paris and Rouen), which lead him to investigate the possibility that some treasure, said to belong to the Knights Templar, might have been hidden there.
		However, as the market is full of better referenced and written books on the Templars, one supposes that the author (or was it the original publishers?) had to find a unique selling point to justify bringing this book out.
		Given that there are better books on the Templars out there already and that the "treasure" probably never existed, at Gisors or elsewhere, I doubt if this book will be considered an essential purchase by many, except Templar completists.

		Someone shut up in the dungeon of the Tower knew the existence of the secret, and perhaps also of another, away from Gisors, that of the Hermit, the White Man of the Druids...
