Knights Templar
The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the
Temple of Solomon, commonly known as the
Knights Templar, the Order of the Temple or
simply as Templars, were among the most
famous of the Western Christian military orders.
The organization existed for nearly two centuries
during the Middle Ages.

Non-combatant members of the Order managed a
large economic infrastructure throughout
Christendom, innovating financial techniques that
were an early form of banking and building
fortifications across Europe and the Holy Land.

The Templars' existence was tied closely to the
Crusades; when the Holy Land was lost, support
for the Order faded.

Rise
Around 1119, the French knight Hugues de Payens approached King Baldwin II of
Jerusalem with the proposal of creating a monastic order for the protection of these
pilgrims. King Baldwin agreed to the request, and granted space for a headquarters in a
wing of the royal palace on the Temple Mount. The Temple Mount had a mystique
because it was above what was believed to be the ruins of the Temple of Solomon and
it was from this location that the new Order took the name of Poor Knights of Christ
and the Temple of Solomon, or "Templar" knights. The Order, with about nine knights
had few financial resources and relied on donations to survive. Their emblem was of
two knights riding on a single horse, emphasizing the Order's poverty.

With its clear mission and ample resources, the Order grew rapidly. Templars were
often the advance force in key battles of the Crusades. One of their most famous
victories was in 1177 during the Battle of Montgisard, where some 500 Templar
knights helped several thousand infantry to defeat Saladin's army of more than 26,000
soldiers.
Arrests, charges, and dissolution
On Friday, 13 October 1307, the Knight Templars were
charged with numerous offences (including idolatry, heresy
and homosexuality). Many of the accused confessed to these
charges under torture.

The elderly Grand Master Jacques de Molay, who had
confessed under torture, retracted his confession. But the
man was declared guilty of being heretic, and he was
sentenced to burn alive at the stake in Paris on 18 March
1314.

According to legend, he called out from the flames that both
Pope Clement and King Philip would soon meet him before
God. His actual words were recorded on the parchment as
follows : "God knows who is wrong and has sinned. Soon a
calamity will occur to those who have condemned us to
death". Pope Clement died only a month later, and King
Philip died in a hunting accident before the end of the year.
Organization
There was a threefold division of the ranks of the Templars: the aristocratic knights, the
lower-born sergeants, and the clergy.

-   Knights were required to be of knightly descent and to wear white mantles. They
    were equipped as heavy cavalry, with three or four horses and one or two squires.
-   Beneath the knights in the Order and drawn from lower social strata were the
    sergeants. They were either equipped as light cavalry with a single horse or served
    in other ways such as administering the property of the Order or performing menial
    tasks and trades.
-   Chaplains, constituting a third Templar class, were ordained priests who saw to the
    Templar's' spiritual needs.




No precise numbers exist, but it is estimated that at the Order's peak there were
between 15,000 and 20,000 Templars.
Grand Masters
Starting with founder Hugues de Payens in 1118–1119, the Order's highest office was
that of Grand Master, a position which was held for life, though considering the martial
nature of the Order, this could mean a very short tenure. All but two of the Grand
Masters died in office, and several died during military campaigns.

The Grand Master oversaw all of the operations of the Order, including both the
military operations in the Holy Land and Eastern Europe and the Templars' financial
and business dealings in Western Europe.

Some Grand Masters also served as battlefield commanders,
Though this was not always wise. The last Grand Master was
Jacques de Molay, burned at the stake in Paris in 1314 by order
of King Philip IV.
Behaviour and dress
The knights wore a white overcoat with a red cross and a white mantle; the sergeants
wore a black tunic with a red cross on front and back and a black or brown mantle.




The red cross that the Templars wore on their robes was a symbol of martyrdom, and to
die in combat was considered a great honor that assured a place in heaven. There was a
cardinal rule that the warriors of the Order should never surrender unless the Templar
flag had fallen. This uncompromising principle, along with their reputation for courage,
excellent training, and heavy armament, made the Templars one of the most feared
combat forces in medieval times.
Legacy
With their military mission and extensive financial resources,
the Knights Templar funded a large number of building projects
around Europe and the Holy Land. Many of these structures are
still standing. Many sites also maintain the name "Temple"
because of centuries-old association with the Templars. For
example, some of the Templars' lands in London were later
rented to lawyers, which led to the names of the Temple Bar
gateway and the Temple tube station. Two of the four Inns of
Court which may call members to act as barristers are the Inner
Temple and Middle Temple.

Distinctive architectural elements of Templar buildings
include the use of the image of "two knights on a single
horse", representing the Knights' poverty, and round buildings
designed to resemble the Church of the Holy Sepulchre
in Jerusalem.
A Templar Knight is truly a fearless knight, and secure on every side, for his soul is
protected by the armour of faith, just as his body is protected by the armour of steel. He
             is thus doubly armed, and need fear neither demons nor men.

With its clear mission and ample resources, the Order grew rapidly. Templars were often the advance force in key battles of the Crusades. One of their most famous victories was in 1177 during the Battle of Montgisard, where some 500 Templar knights helped several thousand infantry to defeat Saladin's army of more than 26,000 soldiers.
  • 5. Arrests, charges, and dissolution On Friday, 13 October 1307, the Knight Templars were charged with numerous offences (including idolatry, heresy and homosexuality). Many of the accused confessed to these charges under torture. The elderly Grand Master Jacques de Molay, who had confessed under torture, retracted his confession. But the man was declared guilty of being heretic, and he was sentenced to burn alive at the stake in Paris on 18 March 1314. According to legend, he called out from the flames that both Pope Clement and King Philip would soon meet him before God. His actual words were recorded on the parchment as follows : "God knows who is wrong and has sinned. Soon a calamity will occur to those who have condemned us to death". Pope Clement died only a month later, and King Philip died in a hunting accident before the end of the year.
  • 6. Organization There was a threefold division of the ranks of the Templars: the aristocratic knights, the lower-born sergeants, and the clergy. - Knights were required to be of knightly descent and to wear white mantles. They were equipped as heavy cavalry, with three or four horses and one or two squires. - Beneath the knights in the Order and drawn from lower social strata were the sergeants. They were either equipped as light cavalry with a single horse or served in other ways such as administering the property of the Order or performing menial tasks and trades. - Chaplains, constituting a third Templar class, were ordained priests who saw to the Templar's' spiritual needs. No precise numbers exist, but it is estimated that at the Order's peak there were between 15,000 and 20,000 Templars.
  • 7. Grand Masters Starting with founder Hugues de Payens in 1118–1119, the Order's highest office was that of Grand Master, a position which was held for life, though considering the martial nature of the Order, this could mean a very short tenure. All but two of the Grand Masters died in office, and several died during military campaigns. The Grand Master oversaw all of the operations of the Order, including both the military operations in the Holy Land and Eastern Europe and the Templars' financial and business dealings in Western Europe. Some Grand Masters also served as battlefield commanders, Though this was not always wise. The last Grand Master was Jacques de Molay, burned at the stake in Paris in 1314 by order of King Philip IV.
  • 8. Behaviour and dress The knights wore a white overcoat with a red cross and a white mantle; the sergeants wore a black tunic with a red cross on front and back and a black or brown mantle. The red cross that the Templars wore on their robes was a symbol of martyrdom, and to die in combat was considered a great honor that assured a place in heaven. There was a cardinal rule that the warriors of the Order should never surrender unless the Templar flag had fallen. This uncompromising principle, along with their reputation for courage, excellent training, and heavy armament, made the Templars one of the most feared combat forces in medieval times.
  • 9. Legacy With their military mission and extensive financial resources, the Knights Templar funded a large number of building projects around Europe and the Holy Land. Many of these structures are still standing. Many sites also maintain the name "Temple" because of centuries-old association with the Templars. For example, some of the Templars' lands in London were later rented to lawyers, which led to the names of the Temple Bar gateway and the Temple tube station. Two of the four Inns of Court which may call members to act as barristers are the Inner Temple and Middle Temple. Distinctive architectural elements of Templar buildings include the use of the image of "two knights on a single horse", representing the Knights' poverty, and round buildings designed to resemble the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
  • 10. A Templar Knight is truly a fearless knight, and secure on every side, for his soul is protected by the armour of faith, just as his body is protected by the armour of steel. He is thus doubly armed, and need fear neither demons nor men.
