Post your online/offline source material here.

One book I'm looking through is Hollowfaust: City of Necromancers. 5/5 in my opinion. The city has its own outlook and morals, and is filled with interesting locations and characters.

A Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe
Expeditious Retreat Press

Certainly one of the most useful guidebooks around.

History of Templars, from the perspective of the Catholic Church:
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14493a.htm

These parts are fairly interesting:
Notwithstanding the austerity of the monastic rule, recruits flocked to the new order, which thenceforth comprised four ranks of brethren:

the knights, equipped like the heavy cavalry of the Middle Ages;
the serjeants, who formed the light cavalry;
and two ranks of non-fighting men:

the farmers, entrusted with the administration of temporals;
and the chaplains, who alone were vested with sacerdotal orders, to minister to the spiritual needs of the order.
..
A contemporary tells us that there were 400 knights in Jerusalem at the zenith of their prosperity; he does not give the number of serjeants, who were more numerous.
