Loki I respect your silence on this. So you've seen a photo of the grave site and I can assume that the grave has a marker of some type that would distinguish it as a Templar grave? There's no doubt that if the Templars came to Acadia that they would have died here and no doubt left some sort of formal grave marking. I'm just trying to visualize what a Templar grave would look like.
For discussion sake I'm going to say that the Templars amongst others came to Acadia before 1492. Your research tells you that they had a settlement in New Ross of some type? I'm wondering why it is that they would have picked New Ross? The logistics would have been difficult. It would have been the little ice age with extreme winters in the interior.
Actually the "Little Ice Age" is said to have begun in the early 14th century and I have premised Templars in the area in 1308 looking for a home. They would have had no idea of such an event and I doubt it would have made much difference anyhow. The Norse still maintained settlements on Greenland at the time which was notably colder than Nova Scotia.
The later, actual historical settling of Nova Scotia was right in the middle of the "Little Ice Age".
Cheers, Loki
