NO spoilers, promise… The Rochefoucauld Grail is a medieval document created at a scriptorium in Belgium by Cistercians.
What is the ‘Turning Island’ and cave that draws heroes to cross the water, braving pirates? Are the pirates exiled Templars? Have they buried treasure on Oak Island? What are the clues that share the secrets of a Templar Knight mission across unknown waters?
The Rochefoucauld Grail manuscript is laced with the mysteries of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table disguising the Cistercians and Templar journeys to safeguard a Holy Grail.
What port could have been their embarkation harbor?
Zena’s map of Oak Island can be linked to Talmont Castle in S.W. France with its ‘Lion Cub’ or ‘Young Lion of Talmont’ See my book on the subject:

Richard Lionheart (1157-1199) spent most of his years in the Middle East in battle. He owned Talmont Castle on the French coast and is potentially the Young Cub or Lion on the lower right-hand corner of Zena Halpern’s map. He was killed by an arrow and died at age 41 –
He fought with Templars in the Holy Land. He could have used the harbor arm of his Talmont Castle to sail to Oak Island prior to his death.
Carbon dating has an arc of potential dates from low to high to low.
Many of the 12th-century stone features on Oak Island may have been familiar to King Richard. His reasons for going? Perhaps copper, gold, and silver along with the secret fur trade that had been in motion via Norse hands by at least 1020 CE if not earlier!
The other potential for the ‘young lion’ is Lord Louis Thouars of Talmont Castle (1310 – 7 April 1370). Not to be confused with the family further north who took over the castle 200 years later. Lord Louis was alive during the famous date of 1347 and fought at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356.
Talmont Castle had its own harbor arm and was said to be impregnable, both the Lionheart and Lord Thoaurs could have launched missions to Oak Island from S.W. French coastline.
The Arthurian drama follows a centuries-old story that encompasses the realm of the Fae and its Queen, the Lady of the Lake. Merlin guides Arthur to find Excalibre in an anvil –
The Rochefoucauld Grail Manuscript used 200 cow hides for the vellum necessary for the illuminated pages. It tells of many strange and unsettling stories of Arthur’s world unknown to us today. It is a volume of high drama, war, treachery, Greek philosophy, and expressions of medieval religious ideas.
Bernard of Clairvaux, leader of the Cistercians and Templars, perpetuated stories of King Arthur with Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard Lionheart’s mother. Spreading a mystery story across the land. Reinvigorating the tales from centuries past in a Generational Tradition played out over the landscape of Oak Island.

Thank you for all my Patrons for your support over the years –
You’ve helped me keep my boots on the ground!
All my best, Gretchen
Thank you Gretchen having read your previous book and this one I really appreciate your insight into this period of time. I absolutely love ancient manuscripts that change our perceptions about pirates as taught in our earliest years at school. I read , in first school; all the “Black beard the piraté” books before anyone else in my class so even then I was an avid reader lol I heartily recommend reading your latest book and I hope other people will enjoy reading it too. Your book takes on the mantle from where Zena Halpern may She rest in peace, left off. Great to see theories coming together too. Thank you ☺️
