The Knights Templar at Bézu by Abbé Mazières

How many times have we read the articles by various people that this was only a theory proposed by Abbé Mazières – and supported primarily by Gérard de Sède and Henry Lincoln – to promote their falsehood that Bertrand de Blanchefort, Grand Master of the Knights Templar, coming from the region of Bordeaux, was one and the same person as Bernard de Blanquefort at Rennes-le-Château. They were two completely different people from two completely different locations.

The only thing of interest in the article by Abbé Mazières is that the name of Ernest Cros was at the top of its list of acknowledgments, thus giving Noël Corbu both the inspiration and impetus to weave his name into the mythology that was spun by him about Rennes-le-Château, later utilised by Philippe de Chérisey.

The Knights Templar at Bézu was never mentioned again by Abbé Mazières who, with Abbé Bruno de Monts, later wrote a sober history of Abbé Bérenger Saunière and Rennes-le-Château. The Believers in the Myth just cannot stop writing about this.
