  Hang on Andy, JdM wouldn't be wrapped in a shroud if he was burned at the stake, he'd be in a bucket of ashes surely. The same must be true of GdC. Most Templars, except those arrested in Ewell (Temple Ewell) were arrested, tortured and then burnt at the stake as heretics. It is therefore highly unlikely the shroud is anything to do with the Templars. If it were, they would not remain silent on the matter, and the shroud would probably not be in public hands.
  
  I therefore suspect the shroud belongs to the body of some medieval upper class twit, as they often had their bodies wrapped in linen cerecloth once the embalming process had finished.
