One step closer -
As mentioned earlier I'm writing a book about the Cerne Abbas Giant. Cerne Abbas is closely connected with White Lackington and the Templars, hence the Cistercian monks, hence the line of Plantagenet Kings Richard I thru Richard III, and finally to Henry VIII, who destroyed the monasteries, and the monastic orders that commissioned the Giant.
When writing a book of this nature, you start a data base for all leads, however weak. White Lackington points to John Lackland, son of Henry II.
An order by Bishop Reginald (1174-91) created the prebends of Holcombe, White Lackington, and Timberscombe. The chore at hand is to connect John Lackland with these prebends, and White Lackington in particular.
A prebend is an allowance paid by a cathedral or collegiate church to a member. It can be monies or it can be land (or anything) -
And now we find that John indeed had a large source of ecclesiastical revenues:
QUOTE) John was able to appropriate for himself large ecclesiastical revenues which compensated for the moneys he had been unable to obtain from his lay subjects, and by the end of his reign he had papal backing against his enemies.

John doesn't appear to have been a Templar - but Henry II and Richard I do! That would mean that Richard and Henry followed the Egyptian (I have not) commandments instead of the Christian (You shall not) commandments.
They are essentially the same - but differing in that the Egyptian (I have not) pledges independence from the Church.
BTW the Egyptian commandments pre-date the Church's by thousands of years.
