The white Friars of Coventry were definitely Knight Templars, fleeing from persecution (their Treasurer was burnt alive at the stake,)-- now the Bible was the most noted of all books, but despite all that Christianity we can’t get away from the Pagans, every day of the week is from Pagan Gods. Without searching records I have The pagan god Thor was the thunder God, and became Thursday, and all other days are named after these pagan gods. They also believed in Witches, so you had witches called a Coven under a tree and Bingo you get the Viking word --Coven-tree.
On my travels around the Middle east came the tale of ‘Pagan Gods Path’ down Amalfi Mountain’. In 1954 I walked down that tree covered Mountain with a beautiful female Italian guide and the Gods looked friendly on me.
