Templars are my favourite military order. I hate king and pope because they burnt them all.
They hold a secret terrible secret (not DaVinci Code bullshit but something more terrible than that to find out google Blaphometh) they are pure evil
i think not good work knights because they divide two class .
this story is good .Originally founded to protect Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land, the order assumed greater military duties during the 12th century.
Gosh, I wish I would have had that information eraleir!
When the medieval order of the Knights Templar was suppressed by King Philip IV of France, on October 13, 1307, Philip had many French Templars simultaneously arrested, and then tortured into confessions. Over 100 different charges had been leveled against the Templars. Most of them were dubious, as they were the same charges that were leveled against the Cathars and many of King Philip’s enemies; he had earlier kidnapped Pope Boniface VIII and charged him with near identical offenses of heresy, spitting and urinating on the cross, and sodomy. Yet Malcolm Barber observes that historians “find it difficult to accept that an affair of such enormity rests upon total fabrication”. The “Chinon Parchment suggests that the Templars did indeed spit on the cross,” says Sean Martin, and that these acts were intended to simulate the kind of humiliation and torture that a Crusader might be subjected to if captured by the Saracens, where they were taught how to commit apostasy “with the mind only and not with the heart”.
