Marie Luise Bulst-Thiele

Marie Luise Bulst-Thiele (1906–1992) was a German historian, known for writing about the Knights Templar. Her works are often cited by other medieval historians in their discussions of Templar historiography. In his own work Trial of the Templars, British historian Malcolm Barber discusses Bulst-Thiele's views on the Templars, as that she sees the attack on the Knights Templar as an integral element of the relations between the administration of King Philip IV of France and the Papacy. (Barber, p. 300). With Walther Bulst she had four sons, among them Neithard Bulst (born 1941), history professor in Bielefeld.
