Henry Soskin, better known as Henry Lincoln, was a British author, television presenter, scriptwriter, and actor. He co-wrote three Doctor Who multi-part series in the 1960s and—starting in the 1970s—inspired three Chronicle BBC Two documentaries on the alleged mysteries surrounding the French village of Rennes-le-Château and The Knights Templar. From the 1980s, he co-authored and authored a series of books, of which The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail was the most popular, becoming the inspiration for Dan Brown’s 2003 best-selling novel, The Da Vinci Code. During the mid-1970s, while Lincoln was lecturing at a summer school, he met Richard Leigh, an American fiction writer. Leigh introduced him to Michael Baigent, a New Zealand photojournalist who had been working on a project about the Knights Templar. The trio developed a theory that Jesus Christ had started a bloodline that had later intermarried with the Frankish Merovingian royal dynasty.
