It was a story. I don’t know if much of it was accurate outside the time period, location, and general jest of the story.
I enjoyed watching it and I would recommend it for those who enjoy semi-historical type fiction. I would not recommend it as a way to learn the history of the Knights Templar or the Catholic Church.
